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. Traffic is around 20-40 messages a day (on slow days :).If you ask a question on the list and it doesn't get answered, don't feel let down. Just ask it again. It probably slipped by unnoticed.

->Archives are available from:
-->http://pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-users/
-->http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.user (searchable)

:[ 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).

->Archives are available from:
-->http://pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-devel/
-->http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.devel (searchable)

:[ pmwiki-announce ]: Announcements of new version releases. The archive is at:
-->http://pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-announce

:[ pmwiki-users-de ]: A mailing list for german-speaking users of PmWiki. Archived at
-->http://pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-users-de

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 (but less important) 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.

Changing mail list settings

Here are some tips regarding changing the mailing list settings:

  • Logging in...
    • First go to http://pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
      and enter your e-mail address in the field at the bottom of the page,
      to the left of the button Unsubscribe or edit options.
    • Next you need to enter your password. As you've probably forgotten this,
      use the button Remind at the bottom of the page to get a new password.
    • Finally enter the password you should get momentarily via e-mail.
  • You can directly go to the options web page through a URI such as the
    following:
    -> http://host.pmichaud.com/mailman/options/pmwiki-users/<user>%40<domain>
    -> where <user> is everything before the @ in an e-mail address,
    and <domain> is everything after (
    For those who wonder, the %40 in the URI just stands for '@'.

Newsgroups (NNTP)
