Please note that the two mailing lists "kde" and "kde-user" are being
phased out, and replaced with the five new mailing lists "kde",
"kde-linux", "kde-solaris", "kde-openserver" and "kde-nonlinux".  For
details about the reason for the switch, please see the dot story at
http://dot.kde.org/996636926.

Administration of these lists will cease on August 15, 2001, and the
lists will be shut down on August 31, 2001.  Daily reminders of the
switch-over will be provided.

ADMINISTRATION WILL CEASE IN 14 DAYS.

THIS LIST WILL BE CLOSED IN 30 DAYS.

Because it is not clear to which of the three new mailing lists you
would like to subscribe, you will need to switch over manually.
You can of course subscribe to as many of these lists as you like.
A description of each list, as well as how to subscribe, follows.

KDE
---------
The new mailing list "kde" will focus specifically on operating-system
independent questions and discussions regarding KDE and third-party
KDE software.  Operating-system independent means the questions and
discussions will pertain to each KDE user using the applicable KDE
software, whether using FreeBSD, HPUX, Linux or Solaris.  Operating
system specific questions and discussion are strictly off-topic on
this list.

To subscribe to this list, please use the web interface at
http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde or send a mail
to mailto:kde-request@kde.org?subject=subscribe.

KDE-LINUX
---------
The new mailing list "kde-linux" will focus on problems and
issues facing a desktop user running KDE on a Linux distribution.
Any question appropriate for "kde" is also appropriate for
"kde-linux", but not vice-versa; the latter is a superset of the
former.

To subscribe to this list, please use the web interface at
http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-linux or send a mail
to mailto:kde-linux-request@kde.org?subject=subscribe.

KDE-SOLARIS
-----------
The new mailing list "kde-solaris" will focus on problems and
issues facing a desktop user running KDE on a Solaris distribution.
Any question appropriate for "kde" is also appropriate for
"kde-solaris", but not vice-versa; the latter is a superset of the
former.

To subscribe to this list, please use the web interface at
http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-solaris or send a mail
to mailto:kde-solaris-request@kde.org?subject=subscribe.

KDE-OPENSERVER
--------------
The new mailing list "kde-openserver" will focus on problems and
issues facing a desktop user running KDE on an OpenServer distribution.
Any question appropriate for "kde" is also appropriate for
"kde-openserver", but not vice-versa; the latter is a superset of the
former.

To subscribe to this list, please use the web interface at
http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-openserver or send a mail
to mailto:kde-openserver-request@kde.org?subject=subscribe.

KDE-NONLINUX
---------
The new mailing list "kde-nonlinux" will focus on problems and
issues facing a desktop user running KDE on an OS other than Linux
(this includes Solaris and OpenServer, although there are specific
lists for them).  Any question appropriate for "kde" is also appropriate for
"kde-nonlinux", but not vice-versa; the latter is a superset of the
former.

To subscribe to this list, please use the web interface at
http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-nonlinux or send a mail
to mailto:kde-nonlinux-request@kde.org?subject=subscribe.

DIFFERENCES
-----------
What, by way of example, is the difference?  For instance, the
question "How do I change the margin size for KWord documents" is
appropriate for the "kde" list, as this has to do with KWord's
user interface and thus applies to users of all OSs.  On the other
hand, the question "How do I set up my printer using KDE" is only
appropriate for the OS-dependent "kde-linux" (if you use Linux),
"kde-solaris" (if you use Solaris), "kde-openserver" (if you use
OpenServer) or "kde-nonlinux" (if you use an OS other than Linux) list,
as it involves system configuration of a printer and possible installation of
device drivers.  If you don't understand the difference, and you
use KDE with Linux, please subscribe to "kde-linux"; otherwise,
please subscribe to "kde-solaris", "kde-openserver", and/or "kde-nonlinux".
