Newcomers are welcome to join the group: you needn't be a super programmer, but you should be prepared to listen and learn, as well as to contribute patches if you can. Since everyone is a volunteer, you will usually be expected to try to implement any suggestions you make. <h1><em>Lynx-Dev Discussion List</em></h1> <p> The developers communicate through a mailing list -- see below for details -- , which is open to interested users as well as programmers. Topics include fixing bugs, increasing Lynx's tools and powers, meeting the ever-changing demands of the Internet and porting Lynx to new systems. <p> Anyone may read what has been said on the list by visiting <a href="http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev/"> the Archive</a>. <h1><em>Development Versions of Lynx</em></h1> <p> Besides <em>releases</em>, which are stable versions of Lynx which come out once or twice a year and can be obtained from <a href="http://lynx.isc.org/release/">the release site</a>, there are <em>development</em> versions, which are experimental -- though usually stable enough to use -- and appear every few weeks, depending on current activity. You can find the latest <em>development</em> version of Lynx by visiting <a href="http://lynx.isc.org/current/">the development site</a>. <h1><em>Subscribing to Lynx-Dev</em></h1> <p> If you are interested in joining the Lynx mailing list, send e-mail to <a href="mailto:lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org?subject=subscribe"> lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org</a> with "subscribe" as the subject line. <p> You will need to answer one follow-up question to confirm you want to subscribe. Mailman will then enroll you and send all messages which you address to <em>lynx-dev@nongnu.org</em> to all subscribers; you will also receive all messages sent by other subscribers. <h1><em>Unsubscribing from Lynx-Dev</em></h1> <p> To <em>unsubscribe</em>, send an e-mail to <a href="mailto:lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org?subject=unsubscribe"> lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org</a> with "unsubscribe" as the subject line. <h1><em>Casual Inquiries</em></h1> <p> Anyone may ask a question or offer a comment by sending e-mail to <a href="mailto:lynx-dev@nongnu.org"> the list</a>. Since all subscribers are volunteers, you depend on their goodwill and will be more likely to get a response if you give the e-mail a meaningful `Subject' and include details of your version of Lynx, hardware and software. You can check the Archive to find any responses.<p> Messages from non-subscribers are not immediately distributed to avoid spam. Usually, if your message appears genuine, it will be retrieved from the pile headed for the wastebasket within a day or so and distributed to the list. For best results, subscribe as described above. <h1><em>The Lynx-Dev Archive</em></h1> <p> Messages posted to lynx-dev are archived in html format so that you can view them using Lynx: go to the <a href="http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev/">Mail Archive</a>. </body> </html>
