WikiQueer:Mailing lists



WikiQueer utilizes a number of mailing lists to communicate with supporters and coordinate WikiQueer's content, operations, fundraising and program development.

Please see the list descriptions for posting information. Most lists are moderated, so that posts by nonmembers need to be manually approved. Some lists disallow any posts by nonmembers and may be private.

Please respect Wikiquette and avoid personal attacks on the mailing lists, especially in the subject header as this is likely to be repeated by those replying. The WikiQueer Operations Working Group manages the mailing lists and can be contacted for queries or for starting a new list.

Mailing lists are available in a number of formats: via a web archive, by email, or you can use public lists with NNTP using the mail-to-news gateway Gmane. Offsite archives of WikiQueer's public mailing lists can be found at Gmane and The Mail Archive.

Email addresses are currently obfuscated in the downloadable archives, making them unreadable by some mailreaders. To convert one of these archives to mbox format, you could use perl -p -i -e '/^From/ && s/ at /@/' filename or.
