Moved posting guidelines above the links to the lists.


= Mailing lists =

GNU Radio hosts a number of email lists for discussion of GNU Radio related topics at [http://www.gnu.org]. It is strongly recommended that everyone using GNU Radio and/or the USRP subscribe to the discuss-gnuradio mailing list. It is the proper place to ask if you have any questions or problems.

Guidelines for posting

'''Please read [wiki:ReportingErrors Asking Questions and Reporting Errors] before posting to discuss-gnuradio.''' In particular:

  • Do '''not''' send HTML email. Many users use text-based email readers, and it is therefore considered bad practice to use html formating on mailing lists.
  • Top posting is generally considered bad. It makes it hard to follow the discussion in longer threads.
  • Trim away unnecessary content. When replying to a mail, remove content that is not relevant for your reply, such as signatures and questions that you do not answer.
  • Do not reply to other messages to create a new topic/thread. This creates confusion with threaded readers. Create a new message.
  • Do your homework before asking on the list. Google is your friend. Learn to ask [http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html smart questions.]

For hints and rationales see [http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html#toc3 How do I quote correctly].

The lists

You can use the following table as a guide to the lists which are most relevant to you.
