MusicBrainz Mailing Lists

The MusicBrainz mailing lists (sometimes called groups) are one of the most important communication forums of the project.

There is a combined archive where you can read the past discussions on all the lists from the MusicBrainz project (hosted by Nabble).

Multi-Purpose Mailing Lists

There are three multi-purpose mailing lists. You can post about almost any MusicBrainz related topic. The lists differ in the degree of involvement of their subscribers:

  • Discussions about the development of MusicBrainz for experienced users, who have some experience with the structure, culture, and history of MusicBrainz.
    Subscribe View archives

Specialized Mailing Lists

Then there are some more specialized lists which evolve around a specific topic:

  • This list is an automated notification of CVS commits. Whenever someone checks in code into CVS for any of the MusicBrainz projects, a mail will be sent to this list. This list is handy for keeping track of changes to the codebase.
    Subscribe View archives

(there is a MailingListTemplate to create new MailingList pages)

Further Information

There are also searchable mailman archives of all previous messages, but they are less comfortable than the Nabble archives.

When we speak of the "MailingList" on this wiki, we usually mean the main UsersMailingList. In mid 2005 we have restructured our mailing lists and not all links have been corrected, yet. See MailingListDiscussion for details about the restructuring.

And of course all users of the MailingList are expected to follow the CodeOfConduct.
