• tribits-users
  • Allows anyone to post questions about the usage of TriBITS
  • Anyone can join and get emails when a new post is submitted
  • Users can help each other answer questions
  • The list archives is publicly view-able and is publicly searchable
• tribits-developers
  • Used for developers (and power users) of TriBITS to discuss topics and communicate with each other
  • Anyone can submit emails to the list but only members to the list can read the archives.
• tribits-checkins
  • Used by the TriBITS checkin-test.py script to log and archive info about pushes
  • Anyone can post to the list (so that it is easy to sent using mailx from the checkin-test.py script from different machines).
  • Only members of the list can view the contents of the list

Subscribing to a list

To request to subscribe to one of the above Google Group email lists, perform the following procedure:

1. Send email to <mail-list>[email protected].

2. When a confirmation email is sent back, simply reply to the email (do not click "Join this Group").

3. Send an email to [email protected] stating that you sent a subscription request to become a member and provide a short justification for why you should be added as a member to the list (NOTE: This is needed because Google Groups will not send a notification email to the list owner).

4. The list owner (who is a member of tribits-developers) will review the request and, if approved, will finalize the subscription (This is listed under "Members"->"Join Requests").

5. An email is sent stating that your request was approved and you are now subscribed.
