Mailing lists

The erlang.org mailing lists are:

erlang-questions

The main Erlang/OTP discussion list. This list is mirrored by the (searchable) Google Group Erlang Programming.

erlang-patches

Post patches to Erlang/OTP here and get feedback from the developers and others.

erlang-bugs

Report bugs in Erlang/OTP here. Give so much information that the bug can be reproduced, and tell exactly which release and patchlevel it applies to. If you even have a patch, send it to erlang-patches instead.

erlang-announce

If you only want to be notified of new releases, subscribe to this list. There is no need to subscribe to this list if you already subscribe to erlang-questions, announcements are sent to both lists. You can not post to this list - only moderators can.

eeps

Discussions regarding specific EEPs (Erlang Extension Proposals). See Erlang Enhancement Process.

Forums

The trapexit.org forums

If you prefer reading a forum, trapexit.org mirrors all our mailing lists, plus they have other forums of their own.

Erlang Programming

This Google Group mirrors our mailing list erlang-questions.

Mailing lists mini-HowTo

The mailing lists are Mailman mailing lists. They have a web interface explaining what you need to know about handling your subscribtion.

You have to be a member to post. This reduces spam to a tolerable level. You can subscribe for every post, digest of posts or no-mail subscribtion to be able to post but read some other way e.g the archives or maybe Google Groups.
