-~~NOTOC~~
+====== Overview on X2Go Community Communication ======
-====== Community Support ======
-x2go is mainly organized via Mailing Lists. Everybody can read content send to the Mailing Lists in public without needing to join any web service.
-If you want to ask a question or want to make suggestions, please feel free to join those lists you are interested in. It is always a good idea to have a look inside the archives of a list to see if a topic has already been discussed.
+X2Go is mainly organized via IRC or [matrix] chat and via mailing lists. We use IRC/[matrix] in cases where we need quick feedback on specific issues. IRC/[matrix] are also places where you can get community support from.  In fact, our IRC/[matrix] channels are bridged, so let's consider them as a single place.
-As there are already people on the list who may have spent a lot of time working on this project, please be kind and think about what you are going to write ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette|Netiquette]]). Please keep in mind that our list archives are public and that they are visited by search engines!
+With the mailing lists, all content is public. The major (long term) discussions happen on the mailing lists. Also the dicussions from the bug tracker are cross-posted to one of the lists (x2go-dev ML). Before you can send to one of the X2Go mailing lists, you have to get a subscription. This is to avoid spam on the mailing lists.
-===== Mailinglists for Users =====
+If you want to ask a question or want to make suggestions, please feel free to show up on IRC or [matrix] or to join one of those mailing lists you are interested in.
-==== User List (x2go-user) ====
+Before asking questions, it is always a good idea to have a look inside the archives of a list to see if a topic has already been discussed and a solution to your question been provided.
-This List is addressed to Users - this list is the right place to ask questions about installation issues and needed documentation.

-This List is addressed to developers and esp. to _distribution packagers_ - the list is read-only, Git taggings are posted to this list.

-==== SCM Commits List (x2go-commits) ====
+NOTE: Many of the upstream developers of X2Go live in Europe (CEST timezone). So if you are »from far away« then make sure you hover around on IRC long enough for one us to get out of bed, have breakfast and answer your questions. You may have to ask your question on IRC and stay in the channel over (your) night and look for an answer the next morning.

+===== Join our chat room via [matrix] =====
-===== Ressources on this Site =====
+The X2Go upstream developer+contributor team runs its own [matrix]/IRC channel on matrix.org (bridged over to Libera.Chat IRC). Join us via our ''#x2go:matrix.org'' [matrix] channel:
+  * register for a [matrix] account (either on a self-hosted [matrix] homeserver or on one of the publicly available homeservers (e.g. matrix.org)
+  * Explore public rooms
+  * search for #x2go
+  * join that room
+NOTE: Many of the upstream developers of X2Go live in Europe (CEST timezone). So if you are »from far away«, expect answers being delayed. The advantage of [matrix] over IRC is that chat history is persistent and you should be able to ask a question, go offline, come back later and find your answer in the chat history.
+===== Mailing Lists =====
+The X2Go project changed its mailing lists services in April 2014. For those interested, [[:contact:end-of-berlios|here is the announcement]] that explains about the why, when and what.
+<note important>
+**NOTE THAT YOU NEED TO BE SUBSCRIBED TO THE LIST YOU WANT TO POST A MESSAGE TO, OR YOUR MESSAGE WILL NOT BE READ NOR WILL IT BE FORWARDED TO THE LIST!**
+(This is due to the massive amount of spam we would be receiving if we didn't enforce this policy.)
+Subscription is a double-opt-in process, so you cannot post until you have followed the instructions in the confirmation e-mail sent to your subscription address.
