title: Apache MINA Mailing Lists

The Apache MINA team interacts with MINA developers and users via mailing lists. If you have any questions or something to say to us, please subscribe to our user mailing list and post a message. If you would like to contribute to the development of MINA, please subscribe to the developer mailing list.

Do NOT cross post (ie mail to users and dev). Pick the right list

Take a few minutes to read this page :Asking Smart Questions

More specifically, follow those simple rules :

  • Do not cross post (ie mail to users and dev). Pick the right list.
  • No need to send a mail every hour if you don‘t get an answer. We don’t have an answer to every question ...
  • Use meaningful subject headers. HELP PLEASE HELP ME is just plain useless...
  • Be precise about your problem.
  • Always give some information about the version you are using, the OS, the Java version.
  • You may have find a bug in MINA, but it's way more likely that your code is buggy.
  • Don't be afraid to post, even if you think your english suck. Most of us are not english native speakers, anyways ...

Thanks for listening !
