-<P>Much of the the conversation between Debian developers and users is
-managed through several mailing lists.  Debian GNU/Linux is
-developed through distributed development all around the world.
-Therefore email is a preferred way to discuss various items.
-       
-<P>There are several publicly available mailing lists while there are also some
-lists which are only open to active developers.  Please don't
-interpret this as closed development. Everyone is encouraged to help
-development of Debian and to spread the word of free software.
-On the other hand it doesn't make much sense discussing internal
-topics with non-developers.
-       
-<P>All original Debian mailing lists run on a special server with a
-mail transport agent that is optimized for lists.  This host is
-called lists.debian.org.  All submission, subscription and
-unsubscription messages have to go to this host.
-       
-<P>The language used on all lists is English unless stated otherwise.
-There are also some user lists for other languages available.
-
