| **fossology** | General discussion, user questions, development discussion. | [[http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology|info]] | [[http://fossology.org/pipermail/fossology/|archive]] |
| **fossology-commits** | Automated commit info/diff messages from subversion for project developers. Replies are directed to the fossology list | [[http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology-commits|info]] | [[http://fossology.org/pipermail/fossology-commits/|archive]] |
| **fossology-sysadmin** | Automated messages from the FOSSology project systems, and project sysadmin discussion (for the project administrators, membership by invite only) | [[http://fossology.org/mailman/listinfo/fossology-sysadmin|info]] | [[http://fossology.org/pipermail/fossology-sysadmin/|archive]] |

Generally only the **fossology** list will be of much interest to humans;  fossology-commits and fossology-sysadmin are primarily for maintenance and monitoring purposes.

===== IRC =====

The FOSSology Project also has a public IRC discussion channel on OFTC.

**Server**:  irc.oftc.net

Anyone can join the channel and chat about FOSSology, ask questions, get help, and get more information.  There are usually several FOSSology developers online at any given time.

An excellent port of XChat to the Windows platform is available as well from http://www.silverex.org/
