IRC
===

Currently, IRC is the reason that our discussion mailings lists are
pretty quiet. :) New ideas, development strategies and some user support
happens via IRC. Since not everyone is present via IRC, ML's are still
used to reach more people, and to announce new releases of GGI and
related applications. The ML's and SF's support tracker are currently
the best place to ask user support questions.

Check the **#ggi** channel on `FreeNode Network
<http://www.freenode.net/>`_. This channel is intended to be for ggi
support / development and related topics. Chatting is allowed, but
please keep things friendly. Thanks to **WooShell**, daily logs can be
found at http://woo.li/logs/\ .

Old logfiles can be found at http://vengeance.et.tudelft.nl/~smoke/log/ggi\ .


Here is a list of the most important nicks:

- bughunter: Christoph Egger (Project leader)
- skids: Brian S. Julin (Project leader)
- soyt: Eric Faurot (Webmaster)


The GGI team holds meetings. Everyone is invited to attend these
meetings. None is planned right now but stay tuned. Logs of and summary

Mailing list
============

We now have a users mailing list at ggi-users@lists.sourceforge.net,
where GGI users can ask questions about GGI, relate GGI success-stories,
exchange GGI ideas, GGI receipes, GGI phone numbers, etc.  See

	- http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ggi-users
	- https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ggi-users (SSL protected)

for subscribing.

The developers mailing list is ggi-develop@lists.sourceforge.net.  See

	- http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ggi-develop
	- https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ggi-develop (SSL protected)

for subscribing.

Unfortunately, we cannot allow posts from non-subscribers because of
spam on the mailing lists. Send your messages to a GGI developer
instead, or subscribe first. The mailing list archive can be found at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ggi-develop&r=1&w=2#ggi-develop.

Unfortunately, spammers have started abusing the From field, making
people thinking our list is unsafe. If you are unsure, check the mail
archives (the one above and the one at
`SF <https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=26942>`__)
for proofment. We are sorry about that. Sue them and/or filter their
garbage out.


Reports and Requests
====================

People who want to report a bug, request a feature or need
support without subscribing to a mailing list should submit
their requests:

	- http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=16307
	- https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=16307 (SSL protected)

If you intend to report a new bug, then please please don't forget
to mention the version of the library, the OS and hw-arch you use.

In the multiplatform business, nothing of them can never be assumed.
