Well, part of the problem is that Mate has been unable (it's not his fault!)
to migrate the lyx-users list to lists.lyx.org.

There's a newer link to this site, which I left in as the "old archive".

Except that it's in the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" directory

You're correct that this is the directory for the new archive. However, the
old archive at via still exists and has lots of stuff the new archive
doesn't have in it. Just in case someone's interested in a message that's
more than a few months old. Which is the whole point of an archive.

In fact, there's also [EMAIL PROTECTED], but that one only
has two months of messages, and they're also located at the actual via
archive, so we don't need to confuse matters further.

Thanks for proofreading!

Lars or Asger, I think it's safe to put these up now (even though we'd all
be happier if the lyx-users thing was solved, but we can't really control
that, and at least this new page will contain *mostly* up-to-date info).

Mailing Lists There are three different mailing lists related to LyX: The Announcement list. Very low volume. (archive) The User's list. Medium volume. (archive) The Developer's list. High volume. (archive) They each serve a different purpose. You can check the archives to get a feeling for which might be relevant to you. The developer's list also features a digest, which will have the same volume as the developer's list, of course, but lower frequency. How the mailing lists work All of the mailing lists except for the user's mailing list use the same simple software. (We're hoping to change the lyx-users lists soon, too). For a hypothetical lyx-foo mailing list, you would send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to contribute, i.e., to send a message to everyone on the mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] to subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] to unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a help message, which will tell you how to do things like get an index of messages, retrieve one or more messages, or contact the (human) list owner Note: the address is the important thing; the subject and body of the message can be completely empty! Announcement list This mailing list is indended for announcements concerning LyX, in particular new stable versions. Send mail (can be empty) to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] to unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a help message The list is archived here. User's list Use this list if you have questions on how to get LyX working, how to use LyX and other question related to usage. To subscribe, you simply have to write a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the single word 'subscribe' in the subject line. To contribute to the mailing list, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The list is archived at a new archive and an old archive. Developer's list This list is intended only for the discussion of subjects relevant to the implementation, planning, hacking and improvement of LyX. This means that bug reports should go here, but please read Help->Known bugs inside LyX before submitting any. To contribute to the mailing list, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For other mailing list functions, send mail (can be empty) to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] to unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a help message The list is archived at a new archive. and an old archive Developer's list digest Because the developer's list has such high volume, a digest has been set up. The digest is sent out to subscribers with (usually) 30 messages in it. It begins with a "table of contents" of the messages grouped by subject. Send mail (can be empty) to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] to subscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] to unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a help message Of course, you can't post directly to this list, and it isn't archived.
