Communication

A Project obtains its strength from the communication of its members. In order for members to easily communicate with each other, the SIP Communicator Project has a variety of mailing lists. These lists, with the exception of the announcement lists, are not moderated and anybody is more than welcome to join them. However, you must be subscribed to post to a list.

To reduce the bandwidth demands on everyone, mail should not contain attachments. It is recommended that you place interesting material (such as patches) either within the body of the message, provide a URL for retrieval, upload files to the Documents and Files Section (requires project membership) or mail attachments directly to a developer when requested to do so.

To join the mailing lists, see our Mailing List page.

The SIP Communicator project has the following mailing lists:


Announcement List

The announcement list is very low traffic designed to communicate important information, such as final releases of modules for example, to a wide audience.


User List

The User list is for users of the SIP Communicator to converse about such things as configuration and operating of the product any other issue related to its use.


Developer List

The developer list is for the SIP Communicator project developers. On this list suggestions and comments for code changes are discussed and action items are raised and voted on. For the developer community, this lists is the very center of the project where all the "action" is.


CVS List

The CVS list is where all cvs code commit messages are sent. All committers are required to subscribe to this list so that they can stay aware of changes to the repository.


CruiseControl List

The CruiseControl list is where all CruiseControl report messages are sent. Again all committers are required to subscribe to this list so that they can stay be immediately notified if their commit has caused the project build or certain unit tests to fail.
