MusicBrainz Mailing Lists
The MusicBrainz mailing lists (sometimes called groups) are one of the most important communication forums of the project.
Reading and Writing to the Lists
You can read and search most of the lists in a combined archive (hosted by Nabble).
You can also search the mailman archives by selecting "Search the MusicBrainz mailing lists" on the Site Search. This is the same as adding site:lists.musicbrainz.org to a query for a Google search.
You can send any (MusicBrainz related) mail to the UsersMailingList. You can even do this via Nabble. For all other lists, please make sure that your post is on topic -- see the descriptions below. You will need to subscibe to these lists in order to send mail. Finally, all users of the mailing lists are expected to follow the CodeOfConduct.
Multi-Purpose Mailing List
There is one multi-purpose mailing list. You can post about almost any MusicBrainz related topic. Note that in the post, two additional lists existed, though they are factually dead now (see down that page).
- General discussions about MusicBrainz for all users. These include questions about the exact interpretation of the StyleGuideline
s. When the term "MailingList" is used, this usually means the UsersMailingList is meant.

Specialized Mailing Lists
Then there are some more specialized lists which evolve around a specific topic:
- Communication forum of the StyleCouncil, used to discuss improvements to the StyleGuideline
s.
Please do not ask how to understand or use guidelines! Such questions should be asked on the UsersMailingList.
