The two key resources most often used for communication are the Debian and GNU [[mailing_lists]], as well as [[IRC]]. +These are measures of communication that work (compared to, e.g., a one-to-one +telephone call) one-to-many. It is important to not send email only to a +single person, but in a way that several people can see your questions and +reasonings. (There are exceptions, of course. Administrative stuff usually +need not be discussed in public.) It often happens that -- if you send email +only to a single developer -- someone is unavailable for some days and can't +answer to your email, but another person could easily have done so. Also, when +discussing matters in public, others can learn from it (while reading, or +eventually even taking part in the discussions), transform the results into +real documentation, etc. Efficient using of scarce resources. + If you're interested in keeping up with current events and taking part in discussions, you'll want to join the [[mailing_lists/bug-hurd]] mailing list or have a look at its [archives](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/). |
