Mailing Lists

Mailing lists are the primary way we communciate in the Mifos community.  They work like this: You sign up for the list. Once approved, you can then send questions to the list via email.  Everybody in our community on the mailing list sees your questions and can respond if they know how to help.  All the questions and conversations are archived and publically indexed so you can conveniently find answers by searching through Google. 

For better ease of use, each of the mailing lists also has a web interface on Google Groups that allows you to search and post.  To post via the web interface you first need to sign up for the mailing list itself and then the Google Group as well.
