The Mailing List
From SlateWiki
[edit]
Overview
Slate has a e-mail list (http://lists.tunes.org/mailman/listinfo/slate) for everything from simple questions to bug reports and feature requests to major technical design debates. The list is open to all to join or simply browse (http://lists.tunes.org/archives/slate/).
The GMANE (http://www.gmane.org) website also provides an NNTP interface (http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.slate.general) which you can subscribe to and post through. It also provides RSS feeds for the messages or topics - see the page referred for details.

Conventions
Some conventions that help with communicating (borrowed from the Squeak community):
Posts should include at the front of the subject line a "keyword" tag. This is an upper-case keyword in square brackets:
| Tag | Purpose |
| [BUG] | for bug reports |
| [FIX] | bug fixes |
| [RFI] | requests for implementation |
| [ENH] | enhancements of existing features |
| [GOODIE] | addition of a new feature |
| [ANN] | announcements |
| [TEST] | submitting SUnit tests |
| [DOC] | some documentation |
| [TUT] | some tutorial |
| [DEMO] | mmm... demo |
