Newcomers are welcome to join the group: you need not be a super programmer, but you should be prepared to listen and learn, as well as to contribute patches if you can. Since everyone is a volunteer, you will usually be expected to try to implement any suggestions you make.</p> <h2>Lynx-Dev Discussion List</h2> <p>The developers communicate through a mailing list — see below for details — which is open to interested users as well as programmers. Topics include fixing bugs, increasing <strong>Lynx</strong>'s tools and powers, meeting the ever-changing demands of the Internet and porting <strong>Lynx</strong> to new systems.</p> <p>Anyone may read what has been said on the list by visiting <a href="http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev/">the Archive</a>.</p> <h2>Development Versions of Lynx</h2> <p>Besides <em>releases</em>, which are stable versions of <strong>Lynx</strong> which come out once or twice a year and can be obtained from <a href= "https://lynx.invisible-island.net/release/">the release site</a>, there are <em>development</em> versions, which are experimental — though usually stable enough to use — and appear every few weeks, depending on current activity.</p> <p>You can find the latest <em>development</em> version of <strong>Lynx</strong> by visiting <a href= "https://lynx.invisible-island.net/current/">the development site</a>.</p> <h2>Subscribing to Lynx-Dev</h2> <p>If you are interested in joining the <strong>Lynx</strong> mailing list, send e-mail to <a href= "mailto:lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org?subject=subscribe"> lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org</a> with "subscribe" as the subject line.</p> <p>You will need to answer one follow-up question to confirm you want to subscribe. Mailman will then enroll you and send all messages which you address to <em>lynx-dev@nongnu.org</em> to all subscribers; you will also receive all messages sent by other subscribers.</p> <h2>Unsubscribing from Lynx-Dev</h2> <p>To <em>unsubscribe</em>, send an e-mail to <a href= "mailto:lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org?subject=unsubscribe"> lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org</a> with "unsubscribe" as the subject line.</p> <h2>Casual Inquiries</h2> <p>Anyone may ask a question or offer a comment by sending e-mail to <a href="mailto:lynx-dev@nongnu.org"> the list</a>. Since all subscribers are volunteers, you depend on their goodwill and will be more likely to get a response if you give the e-mail a meaningful “Subject” and include details of your version of <strong>Lynx</strong>, hardware and software. You can check the Archive to find any responses.</p> <p>Messages from non-subscribers are not immediately distributed to avoid spam. Usually, if your message appears genuine, it will be retrieved from the pile headed for the wastebasket within a day or so and distributed to the list. For best results, subscribe as described above.</p> <h2>The Lynx-Dev Archive</h2> <p>Messages posted to lynx-dev are archived in html format so that you can view them using <strong>Lynx</strong>: go to the <a href="http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev/">Mail Archive</a>.</p> </body> </html>
