Getting involved
================
Like any open source project, Buildroot has different ways to share
information in its community and outside.
One piece of it is the document you are currently reading ;-).
Each of those ways may interest you if you are looking for some help,
want to understand Buildroot or contribute to the project.
Mailing List
------------
Buildroot has a mailing list
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot[] for discussion and
development.
[[mailing-list-subscribe]]
Subscribing to the mailing list
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can subscribe by visiting
http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/buildroot[].
Only subscribers to the Buildroot mailing list are allowed to post to
this list.
The list is also available through _Gmane_ http://gmane.org[], at
+gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot+
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot[].
Searching the List Archives
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please search the mailing list archives before asking questions on the
mailing list, since there is a good chance someone else has asked the
same question before. Checking the archives is a great way to avoid
annoying everyone on the list with frequently asked questions...
IRC

The channel +#buildroot+ is hosted on Freenode
