4 Mailing lists
5 -------------
6 * `dev@suckless.org` - for dwm/dmenu/st/... users, development discussion, bug
7 reports and general discussion.
8 * `hackers@suckless.org` - **only for patches and upstream patch discussion**.
9 Commit messages and diffs from all suckless projects are posted here and can be
10 replied to. [See patch/hacking guidelines here](//suckless.org/hacking).
11 **DO NOT POST WIKI PATCHES OR BUG REPORTS HERE**.
12 Please inline patches for easier review.
13 * `news@suckless.org` - for release and other news. For admins: please send
14 release news to dev@ too.
15 * `wiki@suckless.org` - for discussion about the wiki, also automatic wiki
16 commit messages are posted here.

18 ### Best practice
19
20 When beginning a new discussion on the mailing lists, except for the wiki@
21 mailing list, prepend your subject with the project name you are referring to.
22 This makes it easier for project maintainers to answer your questions.
23
24
25 Here is an example:
26
27 Subject: [st] X not working
28
29 When sending patches use the following form:
30
31 Subject: [st][patch] subject here
32
33 In both cases describe the problem or the fix clearly.
34
35 * Don't use HTML mail: use plain-text UTF8.
36 * Don't top-post: bottom-post.
37
38 ### Mailing list commands
39
40 Send a mail from your (not yet) subscribed email address to one of the
41 following addresses to perform the described action.
42
43 **After both the `subscribe` and `unsubscribe` command, a confirmation email will be sent to you (so look into your spam bin!)**
44
45 **Note, replace `MAILHOST` with `suckless.org`**
46
47 ### `dev@suckless.org`
48
49 * `dev+subscribe@MAILHOST` - subscribe to the mailing list (read/write)
50 * `dev+subscribe-digest@MAILHOST` - subscribe to the digest version of the mailing list (read/write)
51 * `dev+subscribe-nomail@MAILHOST` - subscribe without receiving e-mails from the mailing list (write)
52 * `dev+unsubscribe@MAILHOST` - unsubscribe from the mailing list
53 * `dev+unsubscribe-digest@MAILHOST` - unsubscribe from the digest version
54 * `dev+unsubscribe-nomail@MAILHOST` - unsubscribe from the nomail version

57
58 ### `hackers@suckless.org`
59
60 When sending a patch use the following commands:
61
62 cd $project
63 git send-email --subject-prefix="${PWD##*/}][PATCH" \
64 --to hackers@suckless.org -1
65
66 This will send the last commit of the repository to the mailing list adding a
67 prefix to the subject which includes the appropriate project name. This allows
68 easier referencing and filtering of the e-mails for the maintainers subscribed
69 to hackers@.

72 mailing list so you can see eventual comments on your patches.
