Mailing Lists

There are several mailing lists available for PmWiki.

[ pmwiki-users ]

This is a great resource where a very helpful group of people will answer questions and discuss PmWiki development. As of 2016, traffic is around 20-40 messages a month.

[ pmwiki-users-de ]

A mailing list for german-speaking users of PmWiki. Archived at

https://www.pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-users-de

[ pmwiki-users-es ]

Lista de usuarios PmWiki en Español.

[ pmwiki-users-fr ]

A mailing list for french-speaking users of PmWiki.

[ pmwiki-devel ]

This list was created to lower the traffic on pmwiki-users, it focuses on discussions surrounding code development for PmWiki (both core and recipe development).

[ pmwiki-announce ]

Announcements of new version releases and urgent information, about 1-2 messages per month. If you use PmWiki in a production environment, this low-volume list is highly recommended. The archive is at:

Suggestions:

• If you reply to a digest message, please remove the messages irrelevant to your reply before sending it back to the list.
  • It's also helpful to change "Re: pmwiki-users Digest, Vol [...]" to "Re: [the original subject]" because some mail programs determine threads based on the subject.
• If you address a reply to a single list member, please take the [pmwiki-users] off the subject line, or it's possible for your message to get lost in the mailing list traffic. Many people filter list traffic to a separate mailbox.
• If you ask a question, you should disable "digest" mode, this way you'll receive the replies as soon as people post them, and you could follow-up. In digest mode you might receive the replies a week or two later.
