12 <p>There are four Mesa 3D / DRI mailing lists:
13 </p>
14
15 <ul>
16 <li><a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-users"
17 target="_parent">mesa-users</a> - intended for end-users of Mesa and DRI
18 drivers. Newbie questions are OK, but please try the general OpenGL
19 resources and Mesa/DRI documentation first.
20 </li>
21 <br>
22 <li><a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev"
23 target="_parent">mesa-dev</a> - for Mesa, Gallium and DRI development
24 discussion. Not for beginners.
25 </li>
26 <br>
27 <li><a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-commit"
28 target="_parent">mesa-commit</a> - relays git check-in messages
29 (for developers).
30 In general, people should not post to this list.
31 </li>
32 <br>
33 <li><a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-announce"
34 target="_parent">mesa-announce</a> - announcements of new Mesa
35 versions are sent to this list. Very low traffic.
36 </li>
37 </ul>
