<h2 id="MailingLists">Mailing lists</h2>
<p>NetSurf has several mailing lists for different purposes. Please subscribe to the ones you're interested in.</p>

<h3 id="MailingListsUsers">Users</h3>

<dl>
<dt><a href="http://www.netsurf-browser.org/lists/netsurf-users">NetSurf Users</a></dt>
<dd>This mailing list is used for general discussion of NetSurf. Subscribe if you wish to use, test or develop NetSurf. Please note that all posts to the mailing list are read and noted by the development team, even if we don't reply.</dd>
</dl>

<h3 id="MailingListsDevelopment">Development</h3>

<dl>
<dt><a href="http://www.netsurf-browser.org/lists/netsurf-dev">NetSurf Development</a></dt>
<dd>This mailing list is intended for developer and contributor discussion.</dd>
<dt><a href="http://www.netsurf-browser.org/lists/netsurf-commits">NetSurf Commits</a></dt>
<dd>This mailing list is read only, but listed here for completeness. It reports checkin details. (If you want to comment on a post here, send your comment to the NetSurf Dev. list.)</dd>
</dl>

<h2 id="IRCChannel">IRC channel</h2>
<p>The <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/netsurf">#netsurf</a> IRC channel on the <a href="http://freenode.net/">Freenode</a> network is used for discussion of NetSurf development. Developers are usually around on the IRC channel between 1000 and 0100 UTC.</p>

<p>If you're new to IRC, don't ask if you can ask a question &ndash; just ask the question! Also, give people a chance to see your question and reply. Developers don't have their eyes glued to their IRC terminal but they'll have it open in the background while they do other things. If you disconnect two minutes after asking something noone may see until after you've gone.</p>

<p>If you want to contribute to the NetSurf project, please contact the developers via the development mailing list or on IRC.</p>

<h2 id="GeneralEmailAddresses">General e-mail addresses</h2>
<p>There are several general e-mail addresses that can be used to contact team members. Note that <strong>use of the mailing lists or support tracker is preferable</strong>, since there are more people to reply so you can get a faster response.</p>
