Our primary communication channels are mail and blogs. |

== Mailing lists == |

''see also [[Community mailing lists]]'' |

The full list of mailing lists is at '''http://lists.laptop.org'''. Sometimes they multiply when one isn't watching. |
|||
===Starting a list=== |
|||
The best way to start a new mailing list is to begin a discussion on a related list that already exists, and once the discussion becomes active, to ask for a separate list for that topic or that sort of traffic. Then create a page here about the list you want to start, with a brief description. Finally, add a link from this page and leave a note for [[User:Sj|sj]] or [[User:Ivan|ivan]]. |
