We have set up a number of mailing lists to allow discussion of the development of OSLib, and for dissemination of information. Tom Hughes is running these on his compton.nu domain, and we gratefully acknowledge his help in this.

To subscribe, send a blank e-mail to <listname>-subscribe@compton.nu and post submissions to <listname>@compton.nu (or just click on the links below). You can also (un)subscribe and/or consult the mail archives via the mailing lists web interface.

OSLib Team

The OSLib development Team at present is made up of a number individuals, each of whom have put in a lot of effort to bring you Free OSLib, and will continue to do so. Please join us with any help you can give!

If you have any queries about OSLib development, either post to the appropriate mailing list, or if appropriate, write to any of us. We don't have individual 'roles' but by the nature of the project, and for historical and personal reasons, responsibilities tend to be devolved as outlined below. Naturally, there are cross-overs, and everyone is involved in bug-fixing from time to time.
