Mailing Lists

There are five public mailing lists for people interested in Evergreen open source library software.

The lists have their own internal archives, but the first three lists (General, Development, and Documentation) also have searchable, browsable archives in Markmail.

General Mailing List

Evergreen General Discussion List

This is the general-topic, (usually) non-technical list for the Evergreen community -- Evergreen users, librarians, library workers, library users, developers, fellow travelers, or people just plain curious about Evergreen. As of October, 2008, this list had over 500 members. Its traffic is moderate.

To subscribe to the Evergreen general discussion list, go to http://libmail.georgialibraries.org/mailman/listinfo/open-ils-general

A little more about the Evergreen General Mailing List:

1. General means general. Posts range from discussions about possible new features to quick questions about implementation. There is no such thing as a "dumb" question or comment for the Evergreen general list. If you're thinking the question, chances are, you're in good company. Ask, and you give other members of the Evergreen community an opportunity to share their growing knowledge.

2. While all are welcome to participate on the Evergreen general list, you may want to ask a question without the overhead of joining what is for some people "yet another list," or you may not want to advertise that you're asking about Evergreen. Jason Etheridge of Equinox Software will gladly field questions for you.

Evergreen Documentation

Evergreen Documentation Discussion List

This list is for planners, technical writers, trainers, documentation contributors, etc. participating in or interested in following the progress of the Evergreen documentation project.
