We haven’t a distinguished mailing list for each of the sub-projects : if you have questions about SCIMple, Mavibot or ApacheDS, for instance, you have to use the Directory Users or Developpers mailing list.</p> <h3 id="subscribing">Subscribing</h3> <p>Subscribing to one of the existing mailing lists is only a matter of sending an empty mail (no subject, no content) to <strong>(mailing list name)</strong>-subscribe@directory.apache.org. You can find the list of mailing list names in the table below. For instance, to subscribe to the <strong>dev</strong> mailing list, send a mail to <strong><a href="mailto:dev-subscribe@directory.apache.org">dev-subscribe@directory.apache.org</a></strong>.</p> <h3 id="unsubscribing">Unsubscribing</h3> <p>Unsubscribing from one of the existing mailing lists is only a matter of sending an empty mail (no subject, no content) to <strong>(mailing list name)</strong>-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org. You can find the list of mailing list names in the table below. For instance, to unsubscribe from the <strong>dev</strong> mailing list, send a mail to <strong><a href="mailto:dev-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org">dev-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org</a></strong>.</p> <h3 id="existing-mailing-lists">Existing Mailing lists</h3> <p>For each list, there is a subscribe, unsubscribe, and an archive link:</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Description</th> <th style="text-align: center">Subscribe</th> <th style="text-align: center">Unsubscribe</th> <th style="text-align: center">Post</th> <th style="text-align: center">Archive</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>dev</strong></td> <td>The Directory Developers List</td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:dev-subscribe@directory.apache.org">Subscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:dev-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org">Unsubscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:dev@directory.apache.org">Post</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/directory-dev">mail-archives.apache.org</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>users</strong></td> <td>The Directory Users List</td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:users-subscribe@directory.apache.org">Subscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:users-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org">Unsubscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:users@directory.apache.org">Post</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/directory-users">mail-archives.apache.org</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>commits</strong></td> <td>The Directory Commits List</td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:commits-subscribe@directory.apache.org">Subscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:commits-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org">Unsubscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center">—</td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/directory-commits">mail-archives.apache.org</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>api</strong></td> <td>The LDAP API List</td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:api-subscribe@directory.apache.org">Subscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:api-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org">Unsubscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:api@directory.apache.org">Post</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/directory-api">mail-archives.apache.org</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>fortress</strong></td> <td>The Fortress List</td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:fortress-subscribe@directory.apache.org">Subscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:fortress-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org">Unsubscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:fortress@directory.apache.org">Post</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/directory-fortress">mail-archives.apache.org</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>kerby</strong></td> <td>The Kerby List</td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:kerby-subscribe@directory.apache.org">Subscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:kerby-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org">Unsubscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:kerby@directory.apache.org">Post</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/directory-kerby">mail-archives.apache.org</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>scimple</strong></td> <td>The SCIMple List</td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:scimple-subscribe@directory.apache.org">Subscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:scimple-unsubscribe@directory.apache.org">Unsubscribe</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="mailto:scimple@directory.apache.org">Post</a></td> <td style="text-align: center"><a href="https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/directory-scimple">mail-archives.apache.org</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h2 id="irc-channels">IRC channels</h2> <ul> <li>Users IRC channel: <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/apache-directory">#apache-directory @ irc://irc.freenode.net</a></li> <li>Developers IRC channel: <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/apache-directory-dev">#apache-directory-dev @ irc://irc.freenode.net</a></li> <li>Fortress IRC channel: <a href="irc://irc.freenode.net/apache-fortress">#apache-fortress @ irc://irc.freenode.net</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="endContent"></div> </div> <div class="footer-wrapper"> <div id="footer"> © 2003-2025, <a href="https://www.apache.org">The Apache Software Foundation</a> -
