Mailing lists: introduce Maillists, added commented fodder for a drill-down intro pagr
==Mailing lists==
Mailing Lists, also known as MailLists, are (often uncensored & unmoderated) systems of exchanging mass eMail messages. The messages from validated subscribers are also archived and made available for searching.
<!--
**The following part is 'too much introductory detail' for this overview level "Contact" page. Storing as a comment as fodder for a future "What is a MailList and how do I use it" page. **
 
eMail messages are addressed to the MailList and then (if from a valid subscriber) mass-forwarded to a constantly changing list of subscribers. Subscribers can opt to have individual messages delivered immediately or collated into digests delivered periodically. The validated messages are also archived and made available for searching.
 
The typical method of joining a MailList is by 'opt-in' (manually subscribing) or 'opt-out' (being automatically added by a data-scraper). Gramp maillist are strictly 'opt-in'.
 
An eMail thread is a set of email messages that includes all the replies in direct response to a specific posted eMail message. Threads are historically reconstructed digests of the Reply sequence.
 
Searches of the archives may return Flat digests (all messages, sequenced be order posted), Threaded digests (all messages, sequenced a tree showing which message spawned each reply), or in snapshots (one message at a time).

There are several mailing lists on various topics related to Gramps:
*;gramps-devel ([https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gramps-devel unsubscribe/subscribe], [https://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/mailman/gramps-devel/ archives]): For issues relating to software development. Medium traffic.
Alternatively , if the Sourceforge site is not available, use the copy of the mailing lists stored on [http://gramps.1791082.n4.nabble.com/ nabble.com]. However, if you want to use nabble to send messages (as opposed to just reading them) then you must have subscribed to the related sourceforge mailing list first.
