<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 — 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>. 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 “Subject” 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>
