+Mailing List
+================
- Mailing List Info
+There are several Wget-related mailing lists. The general discussion
+list is at <wget@sunsite.dk>. It is the preferred place for support
+requests and suggestions, as well as for discussion of development.
+You are invited to subscribe.
+ To subscribe, simply send mail to <wget-subscribe@sunsite.dk> and
+follow the instructions. Unsubscribe by mailing to
+<wget-unsubscribe@sunsite.dk>. The mailing list is archived at
+`http://www.mail-archive.com/wget%40sunsite.dk/' and at
+`http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.general'.
-Thanks to Karsten Thygesen, Wget has its own mailing list for
-discussion and announcements. The list address is hosted at Sunsite
-Denmark, <wget@sunsite.auc.dk>. To subscribe, send mail to
-<wget-subscribe@sunsite.auc.dk>.
+ Another mailing list is at <wget-patches@sunsite.dk>, and is used to
+submit patches for review by Wget developers. A "patch" is a textual
+representation of change to source code, readable by both humans and
+programs. The file `PATCHES' that comes with Wget covers the creation
+and submitting of patches in detail. Please don't send general
+suggestions or bug reports to `wget-patches'; use it only for patch
+submissions.
-The list is fairly low-volume -- one or two messages per day and with
-sporadic periods of intensive activity. If you are interested in
-using or hacking Wget, or wish to read the important announcements,
-you are very welcome to subscribe.
+ Subscription is the same as above for <wget@sunsite.dk>, except that
+you send to <wget-patches-subscribe@sunsite.dk>, instead. The mailing
+list is archived at `http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wget.patches'.
-The list is archived at <URL:http://fly.cc.fer.hr/archive/wget>.
-
-As of this writing, the list allows posts from non-subscribers, and
-<bug-wget@gnu.org> is an alias for <wget@sunsite.auc.dk>.
+ Finally, there is the <wget-notify@addictivecode.org> mailing list.
+This is a non-discussion list that receives commit notifications from
+the source repository, and also bug report-change notifications. This
+is the highest-traffic list for Wget, and is recommended only for
+people who are seriously interested in ongoing Wget development.
+Subscription is through the `mailman' interface at
+`http://addictivecode.org/mailman/listinfo/wget-notify'.
