<p>The mailing lists are the heart of the Boost community. You

<h2>Before Posting</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Read the <a href="policy.html">Discussion Policy
|
|
and Guide to Effective Posting</a>.</strong> Doing so will
|
|
help you to ensure that your post is read by the people who
|
|
can help you and received in the spirit in which it was
|
|
intended.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Subscribe your posting address.</strong> As an
|
|
anti-spam measure, postings to most Boost mailing lists will
|
|
only be accepted if the posting's "From:" header contains an
|
|
email address that is subscribed to the list. If you try to
|
|
post from an address that isn't subscribed, you will probably
|
|
get a message that says:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p><tt>You are not allowed to post to this mailing list,
|
|
and your message has been automatically rejected. If you
|
|
think that your messages are being rejected in error,
|
|
contact the mailing list owner at</tt> <i>list
|
|
administrator's email address</i>.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you need to post from multiple email addresses, you
|
|
should subscribe to each one separately. You can configure your
|
|
subscription settings for any address to disable mail
|
|
delivery via each mailing list's web interface.</p>

<h2><a name="users" id="users"></a>Boost Users mailing list</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This list is oriented toward casual users of the Boost
|
|
libraries. It is a good place to start if you are having
|
|
trouble getting started with Boost or its individual libraries.
|
|
Feel free to post both "newbie" and more challenging questions,
|
|
but please check first to see if there's an appropriate
|
|
<a href="#projects">Project-Specific</a> list; you'll often get
|
|
better answers in a forum dedicated to your problem area. This
|
|
list is relatively low volume (less than 500 per month).
|
|

|
|
|
|
<h2><a name="main" id="main"></a>Boost developers mailing list</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This is the main Boost mailing list. It is high volume (over
|
|
1000 messages per month), very technical, and oriented toward
|
|
Boost library developers. It is also read by many other members
|
|
interested in watching the Boost library development process.
|
|
Virtually all Boost decisions, major or minor, technical or
|
|
otherwise, are reached via public discussion on this mailing
|
|
list. It is where the formal reviews of proposed libraries take
|
|
place. Subscribe or unsubscribe at <a href=

|
|
|
|
<p>When we talk about the "members of Boost", we are talking
|
|
about those signed up for this main mailing list.</p>

|
|
List</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>This list is a moderated low-traffic announcement-only list
|
|
of interest to the Boost community. On-topic messages will
|
|
include announcements of books, magazine articles, papers,
|
|
talks, seminars, products, tools, events, or conferences on
|
|
advanced uses of C++, generic/generative/meta-programming, and,
|
|
of course, the Boost libraries. Off-topic will be discussion of
|
|
any kind. Job postings are accepted at the moderators'
|
|
discretion. Subscribe or unsubscribe at the <a href=

<h2><a name="projects" id="projects"></a>Project-Specific
|
|
lists</h2>Several mailing lists have been established for
|
|
specific Boost projects:
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="jamboost" id="jamboost"></a>Boost.Build list</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The mailing list for the <a href="../build/">Boost
|
|
Build System</a> is located <a href=
|
|
"https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-build"
|
|
class="external">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="cmake" id="cmake"></a>Boost CMake list</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Development of the experimental <a class="external" href=
|
|
"http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/CMake">CMake build
|
|
system</a> is being coordinated on the <a class="external"
|
|
href="https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-cmake">Boost
|
|
CMake mailing list</a>. Any questions about CMake should be
|
|
asked here and not on the main Boost.Build list.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="cplussig" id="cplussig"></a>Python C++-Sig (for
|
|
Boost.Python)</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href=
|
|
"http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/c++-sig/" class=
|
|
"external">Python C++-sig</a> is not strictly Boost-specific,
|
|
but nearly all the traffic concerns <a href=
|
|
"/doc/libs/release/libs/python">Boost.Python</a>. See also the
|
|
<a href="#langbinding">Language Binding</a> list below. You can
|
|
join the <a href=
|
|
"http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cplusplus-sig" title=
|
|
"Python C++-sig mailing list">mailing list</a>. There are
|
|
also searchable archives at <a href=

|
|
class="external">ASPN</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="langbinding" id="langbinding"></a>Language
|
|
Binding</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a href=
|
|
"http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/boost-langbinding"
|
|
class="external">Language Binding</a> list is for discussion of
|
|
a generalized framework for binding C++ to other languages and
|
|
systems based on the technology of <a href=
|
|
"/doc/libs/release/libs/python">Boost.Python</a> and <a href=
|
|
"http://luabind.sourceforge.net/" class="external">Luabind</a>.
|
|
The plan is to provide a single front-end for describing
|
|
bindings with runtime-pluggable back ends for binding to
|
|
specific languages.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="mpi">Boost.MPI Development</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A separate developer mailing list for <a href=
|
|
"/doc/libs/release/libs/mpi/">Boost.MPI</a> specific topics is
|
|
located <a href=
|
|
"https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-mpi" class=
|
|
"external">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="spirit" id="spirit"></a>Boost.Spirit lists</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Spirit has two additional mailing lists. <a href=
|
|
"https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-general"
|
|
class="external">Spirit-general</a> for Spirit users and
|
|
<a href=

|
"https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spirit-devel"
|
|
class="external">Spirit-devel</a> for Spirit developers (open
|
|
to anyone who wishes to hang out with Spirit coders).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="boostdocs" id="boostdocs"></a>Boost.Documentation
|
|
list</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The mailing list for the <a href=
|
|

|
|
System</a> is located <a href=
|
|
"https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-docs" class=

|
"external">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="ublas" id="ublas"></a>uBLAS development
|
|
(ublas-dev) list</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>A separate user and developer mailing list for <a href=
|
|
"/doc/libs/release/libs/numeric/ublas/doc/">Boost
|
|
uBLAS</a> specific topics is located <a href=
|
|
"https://lists.boost.org/" class="external">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|

|
|
specific topics is located <a href=
|
|
"https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/threads-devel">here</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Important:</strong> This mailing list is for the
|
|
discussion of the specification and implementation of
|
|
Boost.Threads only — questions regarding
|
|
usage should be directed to the <a href="#users">Boost
|
|
Users</a> list, or the main <a href="#main">Boost
|
|
developers</a> list.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="testing" id="testing"></a>Testing list</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The setup, procedures and tools necessary for running Boost
|
|
regression tests are discussed on <a href=
|
|
"https://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-testing"
|
|
class="external">this list</a>. The list's main participants are
|
|
regression runners - people who run Boost tests on a variety of
|
|
compilers and platforms, and the maintainers of tools for
|
|
collecting and processing test results.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Important:</b> questions relevant to a wider audience,
|
|
including questions about Boost.Test framework or test results
|
|
for a particular library, should be posted to main development
|
|
list.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="translation" id="translation"></a>Translation
|
|
Groups</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Boost doesn't have the resources to translate the
|
|
documentation itself, but there is at least one separate group
|
|
translating the documentation. If you have formed another, tell
|
|
us on the <a href="#boostdocs">documentation list</a> and we'll
|
|
add a link.</p>

<h2>#boost <a name="IRC" id="IRC">IRC</a> channel</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>In addition to the mailing lists presented above, a #boost
|
|
IRC channel on <a href="http://freenode.net">freenode</a> is
|
|
frequented by Boost developers and users. As usual with IRC
|
|
channels, one should not necessarily expect that his questions
|
|
will be answered right away. The channel is not strictly
|
|
moderated.</p>
