 #summary Guidelines for Melange mailing lists
 #labels Contents-Draft,Phase-Guidelines

 The [MelangeIntro Melange] community uses a pair of mailing lists as the
 primary method of communication.  Our goal is to use these mailing lists
 to the support the development of the [SoCOverview SoC framework] and
 Melange web applications, and to assist the organizations
 and users that rely on that framework to participate in programs such
 as [GSoC Google Summer of Code] ^TM^.  Our guidelines for using these
 mailing lists have been written with this goal in mind.  Like the other
 guidelines related to participating in the Melange project, the Melange
 contributors, in cooperation with the community at large, will update
 these guidelines as needed.

 We encourage participation on these mailing lists, but we also ask that
 participants treat each other with mutual respect and remember that the
 ultimate goal is to promote the development and use of open source and
 free software.

 These mailing lists are hosted on [http://groups.google.com Google Groups]
 and share some common access settings.

 "Project owners" of the [http://code.google.com/p/soc/ SoC project] hosted on
 [http://code.google.com Google Code] are, by default (unless they decline),
 made owners of both Google Groups used by the Melange project.  Similarly,
 "project members" are, by default (again, unless they decline), made
 managers of both of these Google Groups.

 Group content (mailing list archives and discussions) can be viewed by
 the public at large on both lists.  To help prevent list spam, only
 actual group members can post to the mailing lists and discussions.  To
 prevent email spam, only owners and managers can view the corresponding
 Google Groups membership lists.

 Due to lack of revision control in Google Groups, the Google Code wiki
 is preferred for all documentation, and `svn` for files (usually, but
 not necessarily, source code).  The Pages and Files sections of the
 Google Groups used by the Melange project have been disabled and will not
 be used.

 == General Discussion List ==

 The primary mailing list used by the Melange project is the `melange-soc`
 [http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc discussion mailing list].

 To post to the mailing list, membership is required, but normal group
 membership (with the limitations described above) is not restricted and
 is open to anyone.  To sign up, visit http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc

 == Developer List ==

 The mailing list used for development discussions (such as
 [CodeReviews code reviews]) is the `melange-soc-dev`
 [http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc-dev developer mailing list].

 This list, while its archives are viewable by the general public, is by
 invitation only.  Only list managers (and, by extension, list owners)
 can invite new members, though prospective members can request an
 invitation.  Invitations are requested by visiting
 http://groups.google.com/group/melange-soc-dev

 Please keep in mind that this list is intended for current and potential
 contributors to the Melange project, not for reporting issues or making
 feature requests.  (Once it is enabled, issues can be reported and new
 features requested using the
 [http://code.google.com/p/soc/issues/list issue tracker] on
 [http://code.google.com/ Google Code].  Participation on this developer
 mailing list (and in the
 [IrcChannelGuidelines IRC channel]) is the "gateway" to earning commit
 access in the SoC project hosted on [http://code.google.com/ Google Code].

 == Abuse ==

 List owners and managers reserve the right to decide what constitutes
 abuse on the [http://groups.google.com Google Groups] mailing lists used by
 the Melange project.  While spirited debate is encouraged in order to
 stimulate creativity and produce web applications of which we can all
 be proud, list participants are expected to respect the fellow list
 participants and the Melange community guidelines.
