<h2><a name="projects">Project-Specific lists</a></h2>
Several mailing lists have been established for specific Boost projects:
<dl>
<dd>
<h3><a name="jamboost">Boost.Build</a> (jamboost) list</h3>
The Yahoogroups mailing list for the <a href="../tools/build">Boost
Build System</a> is located <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jamboost/" >here</a>. GMane provides <a
href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.build">NNTP
access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.build" >Searchable
Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post">this note</a>
before posting to the newsgroup.
<h3><a name="cplussig">Python C++-Sig</a> (for Boost.Python)</h3>
The <a href="http://www.python.org/sigs/c++-sig/">Python C++-sig</a>
is not strictly Boost-specific, but nearly all the traffic concerns
<a href="../libs/python">Boost.Python</a>. See also the <a href="#langbinding" >Language Binding</a> list below. GMane provides <a
href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.c%2b%2b">NNTP
access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.python.c%2b%2b" >Searchable
Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post">this note</a>
before posting to the newsgroup. There are also searchable archives
at <a href="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Browse/Threaded/cpp-sig" >ASPN</a>.
<h3><a name="langbinding">Language Binding</a></h3>
The <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boost-langbinding" >Language
Binding</a> list is for discussion of a generalized framework for
binding C++ to other languages and systems based on the technology of
<a href="../libs/python">Boost.Python</a> and <a href="http://luabind.sourceforge.net/" >Luabind</a>. The plan is to provide
a single front-end for describing bindings with runtime-pluggable
back ends for binding to specific languages. It is <b>highly
recommended</b> that new subscribers read through the <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding" >
message history</a> <b>from the beginning</b> before posting; it will
save time as much design progress has already been made. GMane
provides <a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding" >NNTP
access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding" >
Searchable Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post" >this note</a> before posting to the newsgroup.
<h3><a name="spirit">Boost.Spirit</a> lists</h3>
Spirit has two additional mailing lists. <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-general" >Spirit-general</a>
for Spirit users and <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-devel" >Spirit-devel</a>
for Spirit developers (open to anyone who wishes to hang out with
Spirit coders). Both have <a href="http://www.gmane.org">GMane</a>
NNTP access (<a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.general" >Spirit-general</a>
and <a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.devel" >Spirit-devel</a>)
with searchable archives ( <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.general" >
Spirit-general</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.parsers.spirit.devel" >
Spirit-devel</a>).
<h3><a name="boostdocs">Boost.Documentation</a> list</h3>
The SourceForge mailing list for the <a href="../tools/boostbook" >Boost Documentation System</a> is located <a
href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boost-docs" >here</a>.
GMane provides <a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.documentation" >NNTP
access</a> and <a href="http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.documentation" >
Searchable Archives</a> as well. Please see <a href="#gmane_post" >this note</a> before posting to the newsgroup.
<h3><a name="ublas">uBLAS development</a> (ublas-dev) list</h3>
A seperate user and developer mailing list for <a href=
"../libs/numeric/ublas/index.html">Boost uBLAS</a> specific topics is located
<a href="http://lists.boost.org/">here</a>.
<h3><a name="testing">Testing</a> list</h3>
<p>The setup, procedures and tools necessary for running Boost
regression tests are discussed on <a
href="http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-testing">this
list</a>. The list main participants are regression runners -
people who run Boost tests on a variety of compilers and
platforms, and the maintainers of tools for collecting and
processing test results.</p>
<p><b>Important:</b> questions relevant to a wider audience,
including questions about Boost.Test framework or test results
for a particular library, should be posted to main development
list.</p>
<a
href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.documentation">NNTP
access</a> and <a
href="http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.testing">Searchable
Archives</a> are available on <a href="http://www.gmane.org">GMane</a>.
</dd>
</dl>
<h2>Boost <a name="sandbox">Sandbox</a> CVS</h2>
<p>In addition to the main <a href="getting_started.html#CVS">Boost CVS
repository</a>, a separate Sandbox CVS is available for Boost developers
wishing to collaborate on projects prior to formal acceptance of a new
library.&nbsp; Read-only access is available <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/boost-sandbox/boost-sandbox/" >
via the web</a>, or via CVS client at:</p>
<p class="last">As an anti-spam measure, postings to most Boost mailing
lists will only be accepted if the posting's "From:" header indicates an
email address that is subscribed to the list. If you try to post from an
address that isn't subscribed, you will probably receive a message that
says:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
&nbsp;<code>:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/boost-sandbox</code></p>
</blockquote>
<tt>You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message
has been automatically rejected. If you think that your messages are
being rejected in error, contact the mailing list owner at</tt> <i>list
administrator's email address</i>.
</blockquote>If you need to post from multiple email addresses, you
should subscribe each one separately. You can configure your subscription
settings for any address to disable mail delivery via each mailing list's
web interface.
<p><b>For write access</b> to the sandbox, contact the project admins
listed on its <a
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost-sandbox/">Sourceforge
Project Page</a>.</p>
<p>Even postings made through the <a href=
"www.gmane.org">GMane</a> news server need to be made from
subscribed addresses because GMane simply forwards your postings
on to the appropriate email list. Don't be fooled by GMane's
authentication message that says "you are now authorized to post
to this list" after you answer its autogenerated mail; only
subscribed addresses may post.</p>

<h3><a name="langbinding" id="langbinding">Language Binding</a></h3>The
<a href=
"http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boost-langbinding">Language
Binding</a> list is for discussion of a generalized framework for
binding C++ to other languages and systems based on the technology of
<a href="../libs/python">Boost.Python</a> and <a href=
"http://luabind.sourceforge.net/">Luabind</a>. The plan is to provide a
single front-end for describing bindings with runtime-pluggable back
ends for binding to specific languages. It is <b>highly recommended</b>
that new subscribers read through the <a href=
"http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding">
message history</a> <b>from the beginning</b> before posting; it will
save time as much design progress has already been made. GMane provides
<a href="news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding">NNTP
access</a> and <a href=
"http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.lib.boost.langbinding">

<p>The setup, procedures and tools necessary for running Boost
regression tests are discussed on <a href=

list</a>. The list main participants are regression runners - people
who run Boost tests on a variety of compilers and platforms, and the
maintainers of tools for collecting and processing test results.</p>
<p><b>Important:</b> questions relevant to a wider audience, including
questions about Boost.Test framework or test results for a particular
library, should be posted to main development list.</p><a href=
