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 — see + below for details — 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 — though usually stable enough to use — + 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"> 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"> 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"> the list</a>.

You can + check the Archive to find any responses.</p> + + <p>Messages from non-subscribers are not immediately distributed + to avoid spam.
