These are the mailing lists for SiteMesh 3. All are hosted on Google Groups

Announcement mailing list

Very low traffic mailing list. Reserved for annoucements of new releases and relevant information (such as presentations, new articles, etc).

Anyone can subscribe. Only project owners can post announcements.

Users mailing list

Expected moderately high traffic. General discussion between end-users. The primary place for support.

Open to anyone to subscribe and post.

To help new users, it will also be possible for non-members to post directly to the mailing list. However we’ll keep an eye on this and revisit if it becomes problematic.

There’s also a sitemesh2-users list to support SM2 users. This is being kept separate so as to not get confusing conversations between members talking about different versions.

Development team mailing list

Expected moderately high traffic during development periods. Includes:

  • Discussion of ideas between development team
  • Updates on any important changes to the project structure
  • Commit logs
  • Wiki/issue changes
  • Code reviews for external contributions

For transparency it will be open to anyone to subscribe and post to. You will need to be a member of the group to post.

Old mailing lists

The old mailing lists used for SiteMesh 2 are hosted on java.net (with a Jive Forums interface).

When SiteMesh 3 is released, we shall migrate all existing members over to the appropriate new lists, send an annoucements, and switch the lists to read-only mode.

During SiteMesh 3 development, both sets of lists shall run in parallel, with SiteMesh 2 discussions taking place on the old list and SiteMesh 3 discussions on the new lists.
