6 How To Get Help

Contents of this section

6.1 Is there a Usenet newsgroup for Wine?

Yes. It's called comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine, and the newsgroup's charter states that it will consist of announcements and discussion about Wine. The newsgroup serves as a place for developers to discuss Wine, and for minor announcements for the general public. Major announcements will be crossposted to other appropriate groups, such as the newsgroups comp.os.linux.announce, comp.windows.x.announce and comp.emulators.announce.

If your Usenet site does not carry this new newsgroup, please urge your sysadmin and/or uplink to add it.

6.2 Is there a gopher site set up for Wine?

To the best of my knowledge at the time of this writing, no. If you are installing or maintain a Gopher site pertaining to Wine, please contact the FAQ author/maintainer as noted in question faqauth for inclusion in the next edition of the Wine FAQ.

6.3 Is there a gopher site set up for Wine? Is there a WWW site set up for Wine information?

Here are the URLs for a few sites reachable with your favorite web browser:

If you are installing or maintain a WWW page pertaining to Wine, please inform the FAQ author/maintainer as detailed in faqauth for inclusion in the next edition of the Wine FAQ.

6.4 Is there a mailing list for Wine?

There is a seldom-used developers-only mailing list, whose contents are planned to be ported into comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. If you are a Wine developer, or want to become one, you are welcome to join the list. Please leave a message on the newsgroup comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine expressing your interest.

Those with a general interest in Wine should participate in the newsgroup.
