PmWiki / MailingLists

There are several mailing lists available for PmWiki.

[ pmwiki-users ]
This is a great resource where a very helpful group of people will answer questions and discuss PmWiki development. As of 2022, traffic is around 20-40 messages a month.
If you ask a question on the list and it doesn't get answered, don't feel let down. Just ask it again. It probably slipped by unnoticed.
[ pmwiki-users-de ]
A mailing list for german-speaking users of PmWiki. Archived at
[ pmwiki-users-es ]
Lista de usuarios PmWiki en Espaņol.
[ pmwiki-users-fr ]
A mailing list for french-speaking users of PmWiki.
[ pmwiki-devel ]
This list was created to lower the traffic on pmwiki-users, it focuses on discussions surrounding code development for PmWiki (both core and recipe development).
[ pmwiki-announce ]
Announcements of new version releases and urgent information, about 1-2 messages per month. If you use PmWiki in a production environment, this low-volume list is highly recommended. The archive is at:

Changing mail list settings

Here are some tips regarding changing the mailing list settings:

https://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/options/pmwiki-users/<user>%40<domain>

Newsgroups (NNTP)

Gmane

If you find a dead link to the PmWiki user groups at Gmane, it is now possible to look for the reference, at https://www.pmwiki.org/search-ml.php and find your answers and/or update the documentation.

You may have to use the WayBack machine to search by the original URL.

This is a basic and quite fast search function for messages in the [pmwiki-users] and [pmwiki-devel] mailing lists.

Gmane was a searchable mailing list archive that we used extensively to find information or older discussions, and we also linked to it a lot both in the documentation and in our everyday messages. It disappeared in 2016 and was only partially restored, so most of the links to it do not work anymore.
