The Apache Software Foundation Apache Incubator

Incubator Mailing Lists Guide

Each podling under incubation has its own mailing lists detailed on its status page. An index of these pages is available. These are the right place to get involved with a particular project or to ask project specific questions. They form the public record of the development of the project. Archives are available.

Many foundation-wide lists will also be of interest to incubator participants. For some of these lists, subscription is limited.

Before subscribing to any mailing list please read this.

Incubator Wide Mailing Lists

As with everything else in Apache, most of what goes on happens or is discussed on electronic mailing lists. The incubator wide mailing lists are described below.

general at incubator.apache.org

This is where general and public discussion of things about the Incubator take place. It's also where follow-up messages sent in reply to cvs commit reports get sent (see cvs list).

There is a 'digest' form of this list, which collects individual messages and sends the collection when enough have accumulated or a given amount of time has passed since the last digest. Anyone may subscribe; only subscribers may post. This list has public archives.

  • To subscribe, send a message to general-subscribe at incubator dot apache dot org
  • To subscribe to the digest, send a message to general-digest-subscribe at incubator dot apache dot org
  • To unsubscribe, send a message to general-unsubscribe at incubator dot apache dot org

To view the mailing list archives, visit http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-general/.

cvs at incubator.apache.org

When changes are made to the code repository, the details are automatically sent to this list. Its Reply-To is set to the general list, so if you reply to a cvs message that's where your reply is going to end up. Anyone may subscribe; only subscribers may post.

  • To subscribe, send a message to cvs-subscribe at incubator dot apache dot org
  • To unsubscribe, send a message to cvs-unsubscribe at incubator dot apache dot org

announce at incubator.apache.org

This is the list to which you should be subscribed if you want to be kept informed of significant events or milestones. Anyone may subscribe; all posts are moderated.

  • To subscribe, send a message to announce-subscribe at incubator dot apache dot org
  • To unsubscribe, send a message to announce-unsubscribe at incubator dot apache dot org

pmc at incubator.apache.org

  • This is a private list for the project management committee. It is not open to general subscription. This list should be used only for the discussion of confidential topics. As much business as possible should be conducted in public on the general list.

projects at incubator.apache.org

[DEPRECATED] This is the development mailing list for some of the older projects in incubation. These days all incubating projects have their own lists. Anyone may subscribe; only subscribers may post.

  • To subscribe, send a message to projects-subscribe at incubator dot apache dot org
  • To unsubscribe, send a message to projects-unsubscribe at incubator dot apache dot org
