KDE Mailing Lists

The KDE mailing lists are one of the main communication channels in the KDE Community. This is a list of general mailing lists to give a quick overview. For application specific lists, please see the application's page. A full list can also be found here

General user lists

• kde - for KDE users with questions strictly about KDE applications
  (subscribe kde, archive of kde)
• kde-announce - announcements of new KDE releases, security announcements, and notification of new KDE applications (very low traffic)
  (subscribe kde-announce, archive of kde-announce)

General development lists

• kde-devel - for application developers (both applications in central KDE packages and contributed applications
  (subscribe kde-devel, archive of kde-devel)
• kde-core-devel - for KDE library developers. The discussions on this list are limited at KDE libraries development, SVN and other central development issues.
  (subscribe kde-core-devel, archive of kde-core-devel)

To Subscribe: Either use the above links and use the mailman interface, or send a mail to list-name-request@kde.org with subscribe your-email-address in the subject of the message. Please write your real email address instead of the plain "your-email-address" words, and the name of the list instead of the "list-name" words. Leave the body of the message empty. Do not include a signature or other stuff which might confuse the mail server which processes your request.

To Unsubscribe: Either use the above links and use the mailman interface, or send a mail to list-name-request@kde.org with unsubscribe your-email-address in the subject of the message. Please replace "your-email-address" with the email address you did use for the subscription, and "list-name" with the name of the list you subscribed to. Leave the body of the message empty. Do not include a signature or other stuff which might confuse the mail server which processes your request.

Notes:
Please do not use HTML to send your request because it makes it difficult for our mail server to process your request. If the subscription address is identical to the address you are posting from you may omit the address in the subject line.

Contact addresses for developers can be found in the documentation of their individual applications.

Since mailing lists send message to a large group of people, you will want to observe a special ettiquite when sending messages. Basic help about this is at the Mailing List Etiquette FAQ. Also see How To Ask Questions The Smart Way.

The KDE Project consists of a loose affiliation of developers, writers, translators, artists and other contributors from around the world. Views expressed on the mailing lists are, unless explicitly stated otherwise, the views of the poster only, do not reflect the views of the KDE Project and may or may not reflect the views of other KDE contributors.
