wxWidgets Mailing Lists |
As well as the mailing lists, we also have a Message Board, for those who prefer an alternative method of discussion.
See also this nice searchable version of wx-users and wx-dev: GMANE wx-users archive, GMANE wx-dev archive.
Please make sure that you have read the Mailing list HOWTO before posting!

The wx-users mailing list is now gatewayed to and from this newsgroup, so all messages posted to the list appear on the newsgroup and vice versa.
Here are some popular IRC clients you can use:
To visit the wxWidgets channel on the OPN IRC network, connect to the OPN main server, irc.freenode.net, or a geographically closer one listed here. This is usually accomplished with the following command, or by accessing the appropriate dialog:
/server irc.freenode.net
From there one may join the #wxWidgets channel with the following command:
/join #wxWidgets
Arnout Engelen has added a 'bot' that can recognise certain commands on IRC when you /msg it, displaying information extracted from the wxWidgets documentation. Here are the commands currently supported:
01:38 <wxGuru> describe <classname> describes the wxWidgets class 01:38 <wxGuru> describe <class>::<method> describes the wxWidgets method 01:38 <wxGuru> type <class>::<method> display the first type for this method (will check parents recursively) 01:38 <wxGuru> parents <class> display all parent classes for class 01:38 <wxGuru> <subject> display information on this subject, if available 01:38 <wxGuru> addfact <subject> hasdescription <information> 01:38 <wxGuru> stores <information> regarding <subject> 01:38 <wxGuru> removefact <subject> removes this factoid 01:38 <wxGuru> listfactoids lists all functions that have a factoid 01:38 <wxGuru> wipecache wipe the cache (as this doen't happen automatically yet) 01:38 <wxGuru> help display this help
Announcements will normally be posted to both wx-users and wx-announce so you do not need to be subscribed to both.
Note that subscription is now automated.
Sometimes, messages to the lists aren't echoed back to the sender. However, this doesn't seem to stop the message reaching everyone else.
Please, please save the subscription acknowledgement you get, so you know how to unsubscribe without annoying hundreds of people by sending a message to wx-users.
You should never post to the announce or the cvs-updates lists. Other lists should be self explanatory, e.g. wx-translators is for the discussion of the translation issues and so forth.
wx-testing list is a very low level list which is only used to send the reports about testing wxWidgets before a new release.
