<h1>Boost Mailing Lists and other resources</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The mailing lists are the heart of the Boost community. You may
|
|
read the lists via full-content email, email digests, or via newsgroup
|
|
reader.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Hosting for the mailing lists is donated by the <a href=
|
|
"http://www.osl.iu.edu/">Open Systems Lab at Indiana University</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Access to Boost mailing lists via newsgroup (NNTP) is contributed by
|
|
<a href="http://www.gmane.org/">GMANE</a>.</p><a name="gmane_post" id=
|
|
"gmane_post"></a><a name="important_notes" id="important_notes"></a>

<div class="admonition-note admonition">
|

<p class="first admonition-title">Before Posting</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="last">
|
|
|
|
<b>Read the <a href="discussion_policy.htm">Discussion Policy and
|
|
Guide to Effective Posting</a>.</b> Doing so will help you
|
|
to ensure that your post is read by the people who can help you
|
|
and received in the spirit in which it was intended.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<b>Subscribe your posting address.</b> As an anti-spam
|
|
measure, postings to most Boost mailing lists will only be
|
|
accepted if the posting's "From:" header contains an email
|
|
address that is subscribed to the list. If you try to post from
|
|
an address that isn't subscribed, you will probably get a
|
|
message that says:</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>Even postings made through the <a href=
|
|
"http://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>

<h2>Boost <a name="users" id="users">Users</a> mailing list (also available
|
|
via newsgroup)</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This list is oriented toward casual users of the Boost
|
|
libraries. It is a good place to start if you are having
|
|
trouble getting started with Boost or its individual libraries. Feel
|
|
free to post both "newbie" and more challenging questions, but
|
|
please check first to see if there's an
|
|
appropriate <a href="#projects">Project-Specific</a> list; you'll
|
|
often get better answers in a forum dedicated to your problem
|
|
area. This list is relatively
|
|
low volume (less than 500 per month). Subscribe or unsubscribe
|
|
at the <a href=
|

<p>For those who prefer to participate via an NNTP (<a name=

<h2><a name="main" id="main">Boost</a> developers mailing list (also
|
|
available via newsgroup)</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is the main Boost mailing list. It is high volume (over 1000
|
|
messages per month), very technical, and oriented toward Boost library
|
|
developers. It is also read by many other members interested in watching
|
|
the Boost library development process. Virtually all Boost decisions,
|
|
major or minor, technical or otherwise, are reached via public discussion
|
|
on this mailing list. It is where the formal reviews of proposed
|
|
libraries take place. Subscribe or unsubscribe at <a href=

<a href="../libs/python">Boost.Python</a> and <a href=

"http://luabind.sourceforge.net/">Luabind</a>. The plan is to provide a

ends for binding to specific languages. It is <b>highly recommended</b>

that new subscribers read through the <a href=
