# Getting more information

Where is the &kde; homepage?

The &kde; homepage is located at http://www.kde.org. If you prefer a local mirror, there are several to choose from. For a current list of web site mirrors sorted by location, please visit http://www.kde.org/webmirrors.html.

Is there a &kde; mailing list?

Well, there are more than one. Each focuses on a different aspect of &kde;. Some of them are for the developers, so they are not discussed in detail. Some of the more important lists that users might be interested in are:

kde

  This is the main &kde; mailing list for general discussions.

kde-announce

  This list is used to announce new versions of &kde; as well as new tools and applications.

kde-look

  This is the list that deals with questions about look and feel, and general user interface considerations.

For the complete list of mailing lists available, please refer to http://www.kde.org/maillinglists.html.

Please note that it is not a good idea to ask questions which are already answered in this FAQ.

How do I subscribe/unsubscribe to these lists?

To subscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:

- kde-request@kde.org

- kde-announce-request@kde.org

- kde-user-request@kde.org

- kde-look-request@kde.org

The email must contain `subscribe your_email_address` in the subject.

To unsubscribe, send an email to list-request, that is:

- kde-request@kde.org

- kde-announce-request@kde.org

- kde-user-request@kde.org

- kde-look-request@kde.org

The email must contain `unsubscribe your_email_address` in the subject.

Never send subscribe/unsubscribe request to the mailing lists directly! Use the list-request instead.

There is also a complete list of all &kde;-related mailing lists, and a web interface for subscribing and unsubscribing located at http://master.kde.org/mailman/listinfo.

Is there a mailing list archive?

Yes, there is a searchable mailing list archive hosted by Progressive Computer Concepts. The &URL; is http://lists.kde.org. There you will see a directory listing of the mailing lists. Note that you can only do a subject/author search at this level. You probably will not find what you want doing this kind of search.

To do a body search, you have to enter one of the mailing lists. Just click on the folder you want to search (⪚ kde or kde-user) and then the pull-down menu by the search box will default to Body searches. To be thorough, you should probably search the kde, kde-user, and kde-devel folders.

Is there a newsgroup about &kde;?

Yes, there is! It is at `comp.windows.x.kde`. In addition, there is also a German newsgroup at `de.alt.comp.kde`. Please note that it is not a good idea to ask questions which are already answered in this FAQ.

Yes. Here is a list of them:
