---------------------------------------------------------------------
Some time was needed, unfortunately, but now there is a mailing
list for XFree86/OS2 finally. Thanks to Kjell Wooding for providing the
resources at Ingenia Communications.
PURPOSE OF THE LIST
-------------------
The XFreeOS2 mailing list deals with all aspects of the XFree86/OS2 port of
the X Window System, including, but not restricted to
- announcements of new releases, public fixes, ported software
- bug reports
- setup and configuration issues
- porting and programming questions and hints
- discussions about e.g. improvements, future directions
- specific X11 related questions as far as OS/2 is involved
- interfacing between X and other parts of OS/2, e.g. PM/WPS
- other XFree86/OS2 related things
Please refrain from advocacy for and against X11, XFree86, OS/2: this is
supposed to be a technically oriented list; it does not belong here if you
think PM/WPS or Win95 is better for something. In case of abuse it might be
possible that you will be thrown off the list. Please also consider that
the scope is XFree86 AND OS/2: general X11 questions that are dealt with
in books or specific X newsgroups, and/or XFree86 problems with other
operating systems like Linux do not belong here either (questions about
X or OS/2 books or net resources are valid though).
Although there are close connections between EMX and XFree86/OS2, please
avoid Cc'ing between both mailing lists if possible. Nor do you need to
Cc a mail to the XFree86 lists or to the *authors* of XFree86/OS2 (not precise:
Sebastien and I are not the authors, but the ones who ported it): we are
present on the list.
ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS
----------------------
To subscribe to the list, send a mail (without subject) and the body
subscribe xfreeos2 your@mail.address
to the address
majordomo@west.ingenia.com
To unsubscribe from the list, send a message with the *body*
unsubscribe xfreeos2 your@email.address
to the address
majordomo@west.ingenia.com
Please ensure that your email address is stable and reachable, so don't use
for instance some PC in a university cluster which is occasionally offline,
or which is good for sending mail only.
To send a message to other list subscribers, send your mail to the address
XFreeOS2@west.ingenia.com
A reply to a mail received from this list is possible, and will be sent to
the list. Please take this into account for conversations that are intended
to remain private.
Please don't send your unsubscription request to the list itself, as it will
usually only annoy people. So keep *this* mail in a safe place in order not
to forget how you can get off this list.
Now have fun with XFree86/OS2 and the things to appear in this list.
