A.3 Ptolemy mailing lists and the Ptolemy newsgroup

There are two publicly available mailing lists and a newsgroup that discuss Ptolemy.

A.3.1 Ptolemy mailing lists

The Ptolemy mailing lists are run by the Majordomo mailing list server. This server can automatically subscribe you to mailing lists and it can send you monthly archive files for each of the lists. To find out more about our Majordomo server, send an email letter to:
majordomo@ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu with the word help in the body of the letter.

There are two mailing lists for Ptolemy users:

ptolemy-hackers@ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu
ptolemy-interest@ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu
ptolemy-hackers
A forum for Ptolemy questions and issues. Users of the current release who have a Ptolemy question, comment, or think they've found a bug should send mail to ptolemy-hackers. Ptolemy users in companies and universities around the world who are interested in discussing Ptolemy post and read from the ptolemy-hackers group.

To subscribe to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list, send mail to:
ptolemy-hackers-request@ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu
with the word subscribe in the body of the message. To leave the mailing list put the word unsubscribe in the body of your message.
ptolemy-interest
A mailing list for Ptolemy announcements. Messages about new releases, bug fixes, and other information of interest to all Ptolemy users is posted here. Note: This is not a discussion group, and you cannot post to this mailing list. Message volume is very light. All users of Ptolemy should belong to this group in order to stay current with work being done on Ptolemy. Announcements sent to ptolemy-interest are also sent to ptolemy-hackers, so you need not subscribe to both lists.

To subscribe to the ptolemy-interest mailing list, send mail to:
ptolemy-interest-request@ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu
with the word subscribe in the body (not the subject) of the message.

A.3.2 Ptolemy Newsgroup

There is a Ptolemy newsgroup: comp.soft-sys.ptolemy. Just like the ptolemy-hackers mailing list, the comp.soft-sys.ptolemy newsgroup is a forum of the discussion of Ptolemy questions, bug reports, additions, and applications. Note that all mail sent to the ptolemy-hackers mailing list is automatically posted to the comp.soft-sys.ptolemy newsgroup as well. The name is chosen to correspond to similar newsgroups for the Khoros and Matlab systems, which are also under comp.soft-sys.
