While this is not an entirely bad thing (I like hearing what people want from XULRunner and the Mozilla &#8220;platform&#8221;), it gates a lot of discussion through me, which can slow things down considerably. I would like to recommend the following communication channels for people who have general things to ask about XULRunner:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For general development questions pertaining to XULRunner applications, let&#8217;s use the <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/netscape.public.dev.xul\">netscape.public.dev.xul<\/a> newsgroup;\n<li>For questions about using XULRunner in embedding contexts, use <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/netscape.public.mozilla.embedding\">netscape.public.mozilla.embedding<\/a>;\n<li>For discussion and planning about the development of XULRunner itself, I have created a semi-private mailing list XULRunner-dev@mozilla.org. This list is meant for serious developers who are working on XULRunner&#8217;s design and implementation. The <a href=\"http:\/\/mail.mozilla.org\/pipermail\/xulrunner-dev\/\">archives<\/a> are public, but list membership is by invitation only. If you would like to be part of this list, please <a href=\"mailto:benjamin@smedbergs.us?subject=XULRunner-dev@mozilla.org%20Interest\">email me privately<\/a> and let me know.\n<\/ul>\n<p>I would also like to encourage XUL application developers to write articles for the <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/en\/docs\/XULRunner\">XULRunner section<\/a> of the <a href=\"http:\/\/developer.mozilla.org\/\">Mozilla Developer Center<\/a>. Writing XULRunner apps is pretty simple, but only if you have a good guide to get you started!<\/p>\n<h4>Update<\/h4>\n<p>The newsgroup hierarchy has changed. XULRunner discussion now belongs in <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/mozilla.dev.platform\">mozilla.dev.platform<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/mozilla.dev.tech.xul\">mozilla.dev.tech.xul<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.google.com\/group\/mozilla.dev.embedding\">mozilla.dev.embedding<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People frequently send me e-mail to ask me questions or discuss XULRunner.
