Revision as of 21:36, 10 May 2015

Mailing lists are used for some of the FlightGear community's communications, in particular among the core developers, who are working on the flight simulator itself.

Some questions are better asked on the mailing list instead of the forum. You do not strictly have to be a core developer to subscribe and/or post to the mailing lists.

The mailing lists

Some of the lists are for discussions while some only contain announcements.
