Mailing Lists and Addresses

There are a number of mailing lists and email addresses that have been set up to communicate with various subsets of the CGAL community. The addresses that should be of interest to CGAL developers are as follows:

cgal-develop-l@postino.mpi-sb.mpg.de

(a.k.a. cgal-develop@cgal.org) This list is intended for discussing detailed matters about implementation and development issues. All developers should subscribe to this list by sending a message to ameyer@mpi-sb.mpg.de. An archive of this mailing list is maintained. To enter this archive, use your email address and password (if you have one) or member1@cgal.org and the usual password.

cgal-commits@lists.gforge.inria.fr

This list is read-only. It collects all automatic mails sent by the SVN server, one per commit, with the log messages and the URLS pointing to the corresponding diffs. Developers can subscribe to this list from CGAL mailing lists page. An archive of this mailing list is maintained. To enter this archive, use your email address and InriaGForge password.

cgal-discuss-l@postino.mpi-sb.mpg.de

Users of CGAL post questions and discuss issues related to CGAL on this list. All developers should subscribe to this list so they can answer questions relevant to their packages and monitor the input from the users provided here. To subscribe to the list, send a message to cgal-discuss-l-request@postino.mpi-sb.mpg.de with the content ``subscribe cgal-discuss-l''. An archive of this mailing list is maintained.

cgal-announce-l@postino.mpi-sb.mpg.de

Announcements of new releases, bug fixes, special courses, etc. are posted to this list. The list is moderated (meaning every message posted needs to be approved) to keep the traffic low. To subscribe to the list, send a message to cgal-announce-l-request@postino.mpi-sb.mpg.de with the content ``subscribe cgal-announce-l''. An archive of this mailing list is maintained.

cgal-editors-list@lists.gforge.inria.fr

This is the email address to which you should send proposed design specifications (Chapter 2) for approval by the editorial board (Section 20.1). Anyone can do that at any time about any CGAL design issues.

This list is also archived, and members of the list should use their own email addresses and passwords (if you have one) to enter the archive.

This list was previously hosted at postino, where it was archived, and members of the list should use their own email addresses and passwords (if you have one) to enter the archive.
