Our primary communication channels are mail and blogs.
== Mailing lists ==
''see also [[Community mailing lists]]''
See also [[blogs]] for a list of OLPC related blogs and feeds.

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]].
