=The MusicBrainz Users' Mailing List=

If you are interested in keeping in touch or getting involved with the [[MusicBrainz]] project, please [http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-users subscribe] to the '''musicbrainz-users''' mailing list. This list is designed for general discussion about the [[MusicBrainz]] project and any general questions and issues that might arise.

==Topics==

The [[MusicBrainz]] user's [[Mailing List|MailingList]] is currently the most active of all [[MusicBrainz Forum|MusicBrainzForum]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. It is the place for user to ask
* how best to use the current system
* what to do about controversial edits and votes
* problems using the web site or the client software
* questions about the exact interpretation of the [[Style Guideline|StyleGuideline]]''s
* possible future development

The last point, proposals and discussion of new features is not always seen favourably. [[MusicBrainz]] is a very complex system and new features need to fit into it. Therefore If you ask for a pony or your proposal does not fit into the current structure, you might get ignored. See [[Talk:Mailing List|MailingListDiscussion]] for some history about this problem.

==Read Mail==

* [http://www.nabble.com/MusicBrainz-f2885.html Combined archive] of all [[MusicBrainz]] [[Mailing List|MailingList]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s. Hosted by [http://www.nabble.com Nabble] and fully searchable.
* Alternatives:
** [http://www.gmane.org/ Gmane] hosts another searchable archive, viewable in [http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.musicbrainz.user threaded] and [http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.musicbrainz.user blog-like] modes. Gmane also provides [nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.audio.musicbrainz.user NNTP gateway] for [[MusicBrainz]] [[Mailing List|MailingList]]<code><nowiki></nowiki></code>s.
** [[MusicBrainz]] also hosts a [http://lists.musicbrainz.org/pipermail/musicbrainz-users/ pipermail archive]. This is far less comfortable than the Nabble or Gmane archive, though.

* [http://musicbrainz.org/search.html Search the lists] (Use the site search, and select "Search the MusicBrainz mailing lists")
* [http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-users subscribe] to or unsubscrive from the mailing list using Mailman.

==Write Mail==

* Send an email to [mailto:musicbrainz-users@lists.musicbrainz.org mailto:musicbrainz-users@lists.musicbrainz.org]
