8.4 Mailing List

There are several Wget-related mailing lists. The general discussion list is at wget@sunsite.dk. It is the preferred place for support requests and suggestions, as well as for discussion of development. You are invited to subscribe.

To subscribe, simply send mail to wget-subscribe@sunsite.dk and follow the instructions. Unsubscribe by mailing to wget-unsubscribe@sunsite.dk. The mailing list is archived at http://www.mail-archive.com/wget%40sunsite.dk/ and at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.general.

Another mailing list is at wget-patches@sunsite.dk, and is used to submit patches for review by Wget developers. A “patch” is a textual representation of change to source code, readable by both humans and programs. The http://wget.addictivecode.org/PatchGuidelines page covers the creation and submitting of patches in detail. Please don't send general suggestions or bug reports to ‘wget-patches’; use it only for patch submissions.

Subscription is the same as above for wget@sunsite.dk, except that you send to wget-patches-subscribe@sunsite.dk, instead. The mailing list is archived at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.patches.

Finally, there is the wget-notify@addictivecode.org mailing list. This is a non-discussion list that receives commit notifications from the source repository, and also bug report-change notifications. This is the highest-traffic list for Wget, and is recommended only for people who are seriously interested in ongoing Wget development. Subscription is through the mailman interface at http://addictivecode.org/mailman/listinfo/wget-notify.
