We use mailing lists to discuss everything about TortoiseSVN. Everyone is welcome to join our discussions.

How to join the mailing lists

We have two mailing lists for discussions:

users list

This is the list for the users of TortoiseSVN. If you have questions, suggestions or you want to report a bug, join here.

To join the users mailing list, send an email to users-subscribe@tortoisesvn.tigris.org.

Or use the Google group to read and post.

developers list

Here, the developers discuss technical details about new features. If you want to join the development of TortoiseSVN, join here! This is also the place where users of the nightly builds report issues.

If you're not sure about where you should join, use the users list instead.

To join the developers mailing list, send an email to dev-subscribe@tortoisesvn.tigris.org.

Or use the Google group to read and post.

Mailing List Etiquette

A little bit of common sense should make it unneccessary to place this
etiquette here, but since many people don't seem to know some basic rules...

Here they are:

  • Answers go only to the mailing-list. Do not answer to people directly.
  • Don't mail the project owners directly. We are going to ditch these mails.
  • Answer below the quote.
  • Delete unnecessary text (signatures) in the quote.
  • No full quoting. Keep just enough of the original text so that others can
    see the questions you are answering.
  • If you want to change to a different topic, create a new thread.
    Don't just answer another message and replace the subject.
  • No big (larger than 50kB) attachments. Screenshots are ok, but send them as
    jpeg's or png's. Some people sent us screenshots in a WORD document (!) - don't
    expect anyone to even open such a document.
  • Don't ask for mail receipts.
  • Don't send "out-of-office" replies or other autoresponder messages to the list.
