#The Apache™ XML Graphics Project - Mailing Lists

## Mailing Lists

Every volunteer project obtains its strength from the people involved in it. Mailing lists provide a simple and effective communication mechanism.

You are welcome to join any of these mailing lists (or all of them if you wish). You can choose to lurk, or actively participate. It's up to you. Before you join these lists, you should look over the resources in the Reference Library section. As with any mailing list, you should probably read any FAQ postings or simply read a sampling of postings on the list before posting your first question.

## Usage Notes { #usage}

Archives are generally named after the project they're about (duh!) with a suffix that denotes the subjects covered. Common suffixes are:


-  `*-dev` Developer list - for technical questions about the product, code patches, bug submissions about advanced functionality, etc.

-  `*-users` Users list - for general usage questions about the product from an end-users perspective

-  `*-commits` commit list - this is a read-only list that sends out email with details of all changes to that project's Git or Wiki repository

The ezmlm mailing list controller accepts commands by sending emails to `<listname>-command`, generally like the following:


-  `*-subscribe` Subscribe your current email address to the list

-  `*-unsubscribe` UnSubscribe your **current** email address from the list

-  `*-help` get Help on mailing list commands
If you want to unsubscribe from the XML Graphics General mailing list you send an empty mail to `general-unsubscribe@xmlgraphics.apache.org`.

It is usually a good idea to state the FOP & JDK/JRE version and the operating system you are using. Also, if you are attaching large binary files (PDF, JPG, etc.), please consider attaching a minimal, appropriate B&W GIF, JPG or PNG that conveys the necessary information instead. A good alternative is to put the files on a web server.
