 <h2>Release Process</h2>
 <p>Click to read our <a href="release-process.html">Release Process
 Guidelines</a>.</p>
 <h2>Mail Guidelines</h2>
 <p>Every volunteer project obtains its strength from the people
 involved in it. Mailing lists provide a simple and effective
 communication mechanism.</p>
 <p>You are welcome to join any of our mailing lists (or all of them
 if you wish). You can choose to lurk, or actively participate. It's
 up to you.</p>
 <p><b>Before you join these lists, you should make sure that you
 read and follow the information below.</b></p>
 <p>We ask that you do your best to respect the charter of the
 appropriate mailing list. There are generally two types of lists
 that you can join.</p>
 <ul>
 <li>The "User" list is where you should send questions and comments
 about configuration, setup, usage and other "user" type of
 questions.</li>
 <li>The "Developer" list is where you should send questions and
 comments about the actual software source code and general
 "development" type of questions.</li>
 </ul>
 <p><b>Summary : Prefix each message subject with
 "[Axis2]"</b><br />
 You may already know that Axis 1.x is still going parallel with
 Axis 2.0. So for everyone's convenience, prefix the subject of
 <b>every mail</b> about Axis 2.0 with [Axis2].</p>
 <p><b>Summary: Join the lists that are appropriate for your
 discussion.</b><br />
 Please make sure that you are joining the list that is appropriate
 for the topic or product that you would like to discuss.</p>
 <p><b>Summary: Do not abuse resources in order to get
 help.</b><br />
 Asking your configuration or user type of question on the
 developers list because you think that you will get help more
 quickly by going directly to the developers instead of to the user
 base is not very nice. Chances are that doing this will actually
 prevent people from answering your question because it is clear
 that you are trying to abuse resources.</p>
 <p><b>Summary: Do your best to ensure that you are not sending HTML
 or "Stylelized" email to the list.</b><br />
 If you are using Outlook or Outlook Express or Eudora, chances are
 that you are sending HTML email by default. There is usually a
 setting that will allow you to send "Plain Text" email. If you are
 using Microsoft products to send email, there are several bugs in
 the software that prevent you from turning off the sending of HTML
 email. Please read this page as well.</p>
 <p><b>Summary: Watch where you are sending email.</b><br />
 The majority of our mailing lists have set the Reply-To to go back
 to the list. That means that when you Reply to a message, it will
 go to the list and not to the original author directly. The reason
 is because it helps facilitate discussion on the list for everyone
 to benefit from. Be careful of this as sometimes you may intend to
 reply to a message directly to someone instead of the entire
 list.</p>
 <p><b>Summary: Do not crosspost messages.</b><br />
 In other words, pick a mailing list and send your messages to that
 mailing list only. Do not send your messages to multiple mailing
 lists. The reason is that people may be subscribed to one list and
 not to the other. Therefore, some people may only see half of the
 conversation.</p>
