All discussion about Docutils takes place on mailing lists.

There are four different lists with traffic related to Docutils.  If
unsure, use the **Docutils-users** mailing list:


Docutils-users
--------------

The Docutils-users mailing list is a place to discuss any issues
related to the usage of Docutils and reStructuredText.  (Please be
sure to check the FAQ_ first.)

There are three possibilities to **read and post** messages on the
mailing lists; use the one you feel most comfortable with.

* Using an `email subscription`__.  This is the traditional way; you
  will receive all messages sent to the mailing list via email.

  __ http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/docutils-users

* Using Gmane's `web interface`__.  To post a message, click "post" or
  "followup" in the drop-down menu on the right.

  __ http://news.gmane.org/gmane.text.docutils.user

* If you prefer using a newsreader, you can also use Gmane's `NNTP
  interface`__ (gmane.text.docutils.user on news.gmane.org).

  __ nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.text.docutils.user.

**If you do not wish to subscribe,** you can also just send an email
message to Docutils-users@lists.sourceforge.net.  Please note in your
message that you are not subscribed (to make sure that you receive
copies [CCs] of any replies).

The first time you post a message without being subscribed (also when
posting via Gmane), you will receive an automatic response with the
subject "Your message to Docutils-users awaits moderator approval";
this is done to prevent spam to the mailing lists.  Your message will
usually be approved within a few hours.  To avoid duplicates, please
do not resend your message using a different email address.  After
your first message has been approved, your email address will be added
to the whitelist and future messages will be posted to the mailing
list without moderation.


Doc-SIG
-------

The "Python Documentation Special Interest Group" (Doc-SIG) mailing
list is occasionally used to discuss the usage of Docutils for Python
documentation.

This mailing list can be accessed via `email subscription`__, web__ or
news__ (gmane.comp.python.documentation) as well.  You must be
subscribed in order to post messages to this mailing list.

Docutils-checkins
-----------------

All check-ins to the `Subversion repository`_ cause a "check-in email"
to the Docutils-checkins list.  In order to stay informed about
current development, developers are advised to monitor this mailing
list.

This mailing list is for reading only; please direct any discussion
about the check-ins to Docutils-develop.  (For your convenience, the
Reply-To header of all check-in emails points to Docutils-develop.)
