# Boost Mailing Lists

The mailing lists are the heart of the Boost community. You may read the lists via full-content email, email digests, or online via a web browser.

The lists are maintained via the YahooGroups mailing list service. See their Help pages for general support information.

## Boost mailing list

This is the main Boost mailing list. It is high volume (over 1000 messages per month), very technical, and oriented toward Boost library developers. It is also read by many other members interested in watching the Boost library development process. Virtually all Boost decisions, major or minor, technical or otherwise, are reached via public discussion on this mailing list. It is where the formal reviews of proposed libraries take place. Subscribe or unsubscribe at the Boost list home page.

When we talk about the "members of Boost", we are talking about those signed up for this main mailing list.

For this list's members only, preliminary libraries under discussion are available from the YahooGroups Files section (formerly called the "vault").

## Boost Users mailing list

This list is oriented toward casual users of the Boost libraries. Feel free to post both "newbie" and more challenging questions. This list is relatively low volume (less than 100 per month). Subscribe or unsubscribe at the Boost Users list home page.

## Boost Announce mailing list

This is an announce-only list for notification of upcoming software releases and formal reviews of proposed libraries. One to three messages per month. Subscribe or unsubscribe at the Boost Announce list home page.
