+
+ <h2>The Lynx Development Process</h2>
+
+ <p><strong>Lynx</strong> is maintained and improved by an
+ international co-operative of volunteers. Newcomers are welcome
+ to join the group: you need not be a super programmer, but you
+ should be prepared to listen and learn, as well as to contribute
+ patches if you can. Since everyone is a volunteer, you will
+ usually be expected to try to implement any suggestions you
+ make.</p>
+
+ <h2>Lynx-Dev Discussion List</h2>
+
+ <p>The developers communicate through a mailing list &mdash; see
+ below for details &mdash; which is open to interested users as
+ well as programmers. Topics include fixing bugs, increasing
+ <strong>Lynx</strong>'s tools and powers, meeting the
+ ever-changing demands of the Internet and porting
+ <strong>Lynx</strong> to new systems.</p>
+
+ <p>Anyone may read what has been said on the list by visiting
+ <a href="http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev/">the
+ Archive</a>.</p>
+
+ <h2>Development Versions of Lynx</h2>
+
+ <p>Besides <em>releases</em>, which are stable versions of
+ <strong>Lynx</strong> which come out once or twice a year and can
+ be obtained from <a href=
+ "https://lynx.invisible-island.net/release/">the release
+ site</a>, there are <em>development</em> versions, which are
+ experimental &mdash; though usually stable enough to use &mdash;
+ and appear every few weeks, depending on current activity.</p>
+
+ <p>You can find the latest <em>development</em> version of
+ <strong>Lynx</strong> by visiting <a href=
+ "https://lynx.invisible-island.net/current/">the development
+ site</a>.</p>
+
+ <h2>Subscribing to Lynx-Dev</h2>
+
+ <p>If you are interested in joining the <strong>Lynx</strong>
+ mailing list, send e-mail to <a href=
+ "mailto:lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org?subject=subscribe">&nbsp;lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org</a>
+ with "subscribe" as the subject line.</p>
+
+ <p>You will need to answer one follow-up question to confirm you
+ want to subscribe. Mailman will then enroll you and send all
+ messages which you address to <em>lynx-dev@nongnu.org</em> to all
+ subscribers; you will also receive all messages sent by other
+ subscribers.</p>
+
+ <h2>Unsubscribing from Lynx-Dev</h2>
+
+ <p>To <em>unsubscribe</em>, send an e-mail to <a href=
+ "mailto:lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org?subject=unsubscribe">&nbsp;lynx-dev-request@nongnu.org</a>
+ with "unsubscribe" as the subject line.</p>
+
+ <h2>Casual Inquiries</h2>
+
+ <p>Anyone may ask a question or offer a comment by sending e-mail
+ to <a href="mailto:lynx-dev@nongnu.org">&nbsp;the list</a>. Since
+ all subscribers are volunteers, you depend on their goodwill and
+ will be more likely to get a response if you give the e-mail a
+ meaningful &ldquo;Subject&rdquo; and include details of your
+ version of <strong>Lynx</strong>, hardware and software. You can
+ check the Archive to find any responses.</p>
+
+ <p>Messages from non-subscribers are not immediately distributed
+ to avoid spam. Usually, if your message appears genuine, it will
+ be retrieved from the pile headed for the wastebasket within a
+ day or so and distributed to the list. For best results,
+ subscribe as described above.</p>
+
+ <h2>The Lynx-Dev Archive</h2>
+
+ <p>Messages posted to lynx-dev are archived in html format so
+ that you can view them using <strong>Lynx</strong>: go to the
+ <a href="http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev/">Mail
+ Archive</a>.</p>
