  <title>網際網路上的資源</title>

  <para>進展飛快的 FreeBSD 使得現有的印刷、平面媒體跟不上它的最新進度!
    反而數位版本的資源,也許有時並不是最好,但通常是唯一一個跟上最新進展的方式。
    正由於 FreeBSD 是來自於許多志工的努力,所以廣大的使用者群也通常扮演著 <quote>IT技術支援部門</quote> 的角色。
    只要善用電子郵件和 USENET 新聞群組就可以很快速地聯繫這些社群了。</para>

  <para>以下簡介與 FreeBSD 社群搭上線的主要方式。
    若你還知道其他這裡沒有列出的資源,請告知 &a.doc;,以便我們更新。</para>

  <sect1 xml:id="eresources-mail">
    <title>郵遞論壇(Mailing Lists)</title>

    <para>雖然,大部份的 FreeBSD 開發人員都有看 USENET 新聞群組,
      我們也不能保證我們永遠可以及時得知您的問題。
      尤其是,若您只在
      <literal>comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.*</literal> 其中群組內發問的話。
      建議您將問題發到適當的郵遞論壇(mailing list)上,不但可以同時讓 FreeBSD
      開發者和其他看倌們知道,通常也可以得到一個較好的(最起碼會比較快)的回應。</para>

    <para>本文後面介紹的是各式不同的郵遞論壇、討論規則(charter)。
      <emphasis>在訂閱任何 list 之前,請先閱讀討論規則。</emphasis>
      訂閱這些 list 的人們現在每天都會收到數百封 FreeBSD 相關信件。
      而討論規則的制訂,則有助於提升彼此討論品質。
      否則,這些討論 FreeBSD 的 list 終將陷入溝通不良,而失去其原本美意。</para>

    <para>對於該在哪個 list 發問覺得很疑惑的時候,就來看看 <link xlink:href="&url.articles.freebsd-questions;">《如何在 FreeBSD-questions mailing list 上得到正解》
      </link> 一文吧</para>

    <para>在發表問題、回覆到 list 之前,請先讀過
        <link xlink:href="&url.articles.mailing-list-faq;">
        FreeBSD Mailing Lists 常見問答集(FAQ)</link> 一文以學會如何善用 mailing list
        ,才能避免像是經常重複的月經文、戰文之類的事情發生。</para>

    <para>全部的 mailing lists 討論記錄都可以在 <link xlink:href="&url.base;/search/index.html">
      FreeBSD WWW主機</link> 上找到。它提供了很棒的關鍵字搜尋功能,可讓您找到常用問答集(FAQ)
      。而在 mailing lists 上發問之前,也請先搜尋是否已有解答。</para>

        或是到 &a.mailman.lists.link; 然後即可挑選有興趣的 list 來訂閱了,
        該網頁會指示你如何進行訂閱的步驟。</para>

      <para>To actually post to a given list you simply send mail to
	<email><replaceable>listname</replaceable>@FreeBSD.org</email>.  It will then
	be redistributed to mailing list members world-wide.</para>

      <para>To unsubscribe yourself from a list, click on the URL
	found at the bottom of every email received from the list.  It
	is also possible to send an email to
	<email><replaceable>listname</replaceable>-unsubscribe@FreeBSD.org</email> to unsubscribe
	yourself.</para>

      <para>Again, we would like to request that you keep discussion in the
	technical mailing lists on a technical track. If you are only
	interested in important announcements then it is suggested that
	you join the &a.announce;, which is intended only for infrequent

      <title>List Charters</title>

      <para><emphasis>All</emphasis> FreeBSD mailing lists have certain basic
	rules which must be adhered to by anyone using them. Failure to comply
	with these guidelines will result in two (2) written warnings from the
	FreeBSD Postmaster <email>postmaster@FreeBSD.org</email>, after which,
	on a third offense, the poster will removed from all FreeBSD mailing
	lists and filtered from further posting to them. We regret that such
	rules and measures are necessary at all, but today's Internet is a
	pretty harsh environment, it would seem, and many fail to appreciate
	just how fragile some of its mechanisms are.</para>

      <para>Rules of the road:</para>

      <itemizedlist>
	<listitem>
	  <para>The topic of any posting should adhere to the basic charter of
	    the list it is posted to, e.g. if the list is about technical
	    issues then your posting should contain technical discussion.
	    Ongoing irrelevant chatter or flaming only detracts from the value
	    of the mailing list for everyone on it and will not be tolerated.
	    For free-form discussion on no particular topic, the &a.chat;
	    is freely available and should be used instead.</para>
	</listitem>

	<listitem>
	  <para>No posting should be made to more than 2 mailing lists, and
	    only to 2 when a clear and obvious need to post to both lists
	    exists.  For most lists, there is already a great deal of
	    subscriber overlap and except for the most esoteric mixes (say
	    <quote>-stable &amp; -scsi</quote>), there really is no reason to post to more
	    than one list at a time.  If a message is sent to you in such a
	    way that multiple mailing lists appear on the
	    <literal>Cc</literal> line then the <literal>Cc</literal>
	    line should also be trimmed before sending it out again.
	    <emphasis>You are still responsible for your
	      own cross-postings, no matter who the originator might have
	      been.</emphasis></para>
	</listitem>

	<listitem>
	  <para>Personal attacks and profanity (in the context of an argument)
	    are not allowed, and that includes users and developers alike.
	    Gross breaches of netiquette, like excerpting or reposting private
	    mail when permission to do so was not and would not be
	    forthcoming, are frowned upon but not specifically enforced.
	    <emphasis>However</emphasis>, there are also very few cases where
	    such content would fit within the charter of a list and it would
	    therefore probably rate a warning (or ban) on that basis
	    alone.</para>
	</listitem>

	<listitem>
	  <para>Advertising of non-FreeBSD related products or services is
	    strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate ban if it is
	    clear that the offender is advertising by spam.</para>
