Specifically note the request "Use sensible and concise email subject headings". On our high-traffic lists, especially dev, we encourage the use of email subject tags that indicate the topic of your post. Consistent use of such tags makes it more likely that your post will be read by subscribers most interested in that topic. It also faciliates sorting and filtering by email inbox rules. Some subject tags often seen on dev include: - [www] for posts related to the website - [Repo] for posts related to the source code repository - [download] for posts related to the release download and mirroring infrastruture - [API] for posts related to API specific topics - [EXT] for posts related to Extension specific topics Other useful topic tags can be found by observing traffic on the list or by looking at the list archives. In addition to the topic subject tags, there are also tags used to indicate a request: - [DISCUSS] indicates a rough idea is being floated, and input is welcome - [PROPOSAL] indicates a specific proposal is being made, and often that Lazy Consensus is being sought. - [VOTE] indicates that a formal vote is being called. This is rare. Note: it is common for a topic tag and an action tag to be combined, e.g.: - [PROPOSAL][Repo] Migration of legacy repository to SVN - [DISCUSS][download] What are our options of mirroring legacy releases? Finally, please keep in mind that all of the above mailing lists are public and any post you make will likely be archived by a variety of services. The Apache policy for expunging posts can be found [here](http://www.apache.org/foundation/public-archives.html) but this will only apply to Apache mail archives, not archives from other services such as Gmane or Markmail. ## Users Mailing List This list is for users, for questions about OpenOffice, for feature requests, for discussions about the product and project, etc. - Subscribe: [users-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org][2] - Post (after subscription): [users@openoffice.apache.org][3] - Unsubscribe: [users-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org][4] - Archives - [Markmail][5] - [Apache][47] (posts before November 2012 are [archived here][6]) ## API Mailing List This list is for application developers and other interested in scripting, macros or developing OpenOffice extensions. - Subscribe: [api-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org][42] - Post (after subscription): [api@openoffice.apache.org][43] - Unsubscribe: [api-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org][44] - Archives - [Markmail][45] - [Apache][48] (posts before November 2012 are [archived here][46]) ## Marketing Mailing List This is where the community discusses marketing, branding, communications, event planning and related activities. - Subscribe: [marketing-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org][7] - Post (after subscription): [marketing@openoffice.apache.org][8] - Unsubscribe: [marketing-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org][9] - Archives - [Markmail][10] - [Apache][49] (posts before November 2012 are [archived here][11]) ## Announce Mailing List Subscribe to this list to receive notice about new releases and other important news from the project. - Subscribe: [announce-subscribe@openoffice.apache.org][12] - Unsubscribe: [announce-unsubscribe@openoffice.apache.org][13] - Archives - [Markmail][14] - [Apache][50] (posts before November 2012 are [archived here][15]) **Note:** Only Apache OpenOffice committers may post to the Announce mailing list.
