Maillists and Chat
Currently two maillists are used for A-A-P. See below.
The recommended chat room for A-A-P is: irc://irc.freenode.net/#aap.
Developer maillist
The A-A-P-develop list is for communication between A-A-P developers.
- Discussions about how A-A-P works
- Suggestions and plans for improvements
- Mentioning bugs, fixes and problems
- Announcements for new versions
There is also an e-mail based interface. Get info about it by sending a
message with just the word "help" as subject or in the body to:
a-a-p-develop-request@lists.sourceforge.net
The old maillist archive at Yahoo (up to October 2002) can still be found
here.
User maillist
The A-A-P-user list is for communication between A-A-P users.
- Questions and answers about how to do something with A-A-P
- Tips for using A-A-P
- Suggestions for related tools
- Announcements for new versions
There is also an e-mail based interface. Get info about it by sending a
message with just the word "help" as subject or in the body to:
a-a-p-user-request@lists.sourceforge.net
Sending a message
Before sending a message to the maillist you must subscribe first.
Otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the responses.
And this avoids spamming.
Send the message to a-a-p-user@lists.sourceforge.net or
a-a-p-develop@lists.sourceforge.net.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Please do not send HTML messages to the lists.
- Keep it short, don't annoy subscribers with irrelevant stuff.
- When responsing to a message, only quote relevant parts, delete the
rest
- Small patches and files can be included (up to about 50 Kbyte).
Make larger files available for downloading and put the URL in the
message.
- Do not send a message to both the developer and user list, unless you
are very sure everybody must see it (e.g., an important announcement).
- Send a message directly to a group of persons when you know they are
the only ones who want to read it.
