Mailing lists
We use several mailing lists for SIP Communicator, hosted on java.net project page:
- dev is for discussion of technical implementation details, and is where developers meet and discuss issues, code changes, etc.

You may want to subscribe to the users list if you have problems using the software, if you don’t understand an error message, you have an idea for a new bundle and want some feedback, etc. It is read by all the developers, plus a bunch of other knowledgeable folks. Check the archives before posting a question, chances are it has already been asked and answered a few times.
We ask developers to subscribe at least to the users, dev and issues lists but it’s generally a very good idea to subscribe to all of them.
Commiters are also expected to subscribe to the cruisecontrol and commits lists.
Subscribe
There are two methods to subscribe to one of this lists. You can either send an email to listname-subscribe@sip-communicator.dev.java.net where listname is one of the above list name or subscribe directly from java.net project page once logged in.
Real-time chat (IRC)
You can also talk to other users and developers in real time by joining the #sip-communicator channel on freenode.net’s IRC server (irc.freenode.net) with an IRC client, such as mIRC or XChat or the on-line client that we’ve setup here.
