It was established by +the creator of Org-mode, Carsten Dominik, who enjoys the different +perspectives and range of interests expressed there. + +The list is less formal and more diverse than a site like +[[http://stackoverflow.com/tags/org-mode/info][stackoverflow]], which has an org-mode section. Subscribers' messages to +the list aren't moderated and there is no formal mechanism to rate +questions, answers, or reputations. + +List etiquette encourages posters to be precise, concise, and +friendly. Lengthy excerpts of quoted material are probably redundant +and they clog certain distribution channels. Posters should include +enough quoted material to establish the context for their comments +and cut away the rest. + * Search in Org mailing list The [[http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode][Org mailing list]] is very active. You can also browse it on [[http://news.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode][Gmane]]. -- 1.7.2.5
