K | PmWiki / MailingLists

There are several mailing lists available for PmWiki.

[ pmwiki-users ]: This is a great resource where a very helpful group of people will answer questions and discuss PmWiki development. Traffic is around 20-40 messages a day (on slow days :).If you ask a question on the list and it doesn't get answered, don't feel let down. Just ask it again. It probably slipped by unnoticed.

Archives are available from:

[ pmwiki-announce ]: Announcements of new version releases. The archive is at:

Suggestions:

If you reply to a digest message, please remove the messages irrelevant to your reply before sending it back to the list. It's also helpful (but less important) to change "Re: pmwiki-users Digest, Vol [...]" to "Re: [the original subject]" because some mail programs determine threads based on the subject.
If you address a reply to a single list member, please take the [pmwiki-users] off the subject line, or it's possible for your message to get lost in the mailing list traffic. Many people filter list traffic to a separate mailbox.

Changing mail list settings

Here are some tips regarding changing the mailing list settings:

Logging in...
- First go to http://pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users and enter your e-mail address in the field at the bottom of the page, to the left of the button Unsubscribe or edit options.
- Next you need to enter your password. As you've probably forgotten this, use the button Remind at the bottom of the page to get a new password.
- Finally enter the password you should get momentarily via e-mail.
You can directly go to the options web page through a URI such as the following:

http://host.pmichaud.com/mailman/options/pmwiki-users/<user>%40<domain>

where <user> is everything before the @ in an e-mail address, and <domain> is everything after ( For those who wonder, the %40 in the URI just stands for '@'.

You can also obtain various help by sending an email to pmwiki-users-request@pmichaud.com with the text help in either the subject or the body.
