This page contains a short list of mailing lists at OLPC which are more important for prospective developers. See [[community mailing lists]] and [[communication channels]] for more comprehensive information.

The most important mailing list at OLPC is the [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel devel] list; it is the canonical list for all development work. If you're uncertain where your question or patches should go, devel is not a bad choice. The devel list is pretty high volume, though, so not everyone reads every post, which sometimes means that your question or patch might get lost in the noise. There are a number of more focused lists where you might be able to get more attention and/or avoid drowning in the flood of posts:
* [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel-announce devel-announce] is a low-volume list for announcement of interest to developers: typically new code releases and testing instructions. Not for general discussion!
* [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar sugar] is the primary list for high-level user interface development.
* [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel server-devel] is for school server development
* [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/support-gang support-gang] is where all the helpful people hang out
* [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/security security] is for discussion of linux and bitfrost security, activity isolation, 'rainbow' (our security subsystem), and theft-deterrence measures.
* And see http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/ for even more!
