Using the List

  • This is a public list for developer discussion only. Support questions should be asked on the forums.
  • Keep in mind that bug reports and feature requests should be submitted using the Mambo tracker.
  • Potential security vulnerabilities should not be posted to the list. Please submit reports to
  • Messages should be short and to the point. Never spend four paragraphs explaining what can be done in two sentences.
  • When asking questions make sure to check the archives and documentation before posting to the list, failure to do so may result in the message being ignored.
  • Do not bring up old discussions unless there is new vitally important information. Extra opinions do not matter, facts and proof matter.
  • Messages should only be replied to when there is important information to add. Only quote the key points when replying to the list, everyone else will have the previous message and can look it up for more information. All quoted material should be recognisable, by starting the line with one > for each level of quoting. Do not quote signatures or entire messages. The new message should come after the quote.
  • All messages should be in plain text, HTML mail or other weird formats will annoy several important people on the list.
  • All messages to the list should be in English. English may not be the native language of most people - try to use proper spelling and grammar, but most mistakes will be forgiven. Punctuation and proper capitalization is a must, failure to do this will not be forgiven.
  • Be polite - personal attacks and arguments will not be tolerated.
  • Keep signatures to a minimum. Any message that has a signature longer than the message body will be frowned upon.
  • Stay on topic!
