<h2>Mailing lists</h2>
<h3><a href="http://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-announce">sane-announce</a></h3>
<p>
<em>sane-announce</em> is a low-traffic list for release and similar
announces. It's intended for users who want to know when a new release or
beta snapshot of sane-backends or sane-frontends becomes available. The
list is moderated. You don't need to subscribe to sane-announce if you
read the sane-devel mailing list as all postings going to sane-announce
will be posted to sane-devel, too. You can subscribe, unsubscribe or
modify your settings by using the <a
href="http://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-announce"
target="_top">web interface</a>.
</p>
<p>
There
are <a href="https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-announce/">message
archives for sane-announce</a> as well.
</p>
<h3><a href="http://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel">sane-devel</a></h3>
<p>
<em>sane-devel</em> is the discussion list for anything SANE (Scanner Access Now
Easy) related. Despite its name, it's also intended for users. You need to be
subscribed to be able to send mail to this list. If you are not
subscribed, your mail may be approved by the moderator but that can take
some time. When answering to a posting, keep in mind that the response is
directed to the author by default. If you want to respond to the list,
please use the "reply-to-list" (or similar) function of your mail
client. You can subscribe, unsubscribe or modify your settings by using
the <a href="http://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sane-devel"
target="_top">web interface</a>.
</p>
<p>
There
are <a href="https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-devel/">message
archives for sane-devel</a> as well. These go all the way back
to April 2001 but for messages sent before August 2001 you're
better off consulting the <a href="old-archive/">old archive</a>.
</p>
<h3><a href="http://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-standard/">sane-standard</a></h3>
<p>
<em>sane-standard</em> was used to discuss the SANE standard. Topics were
the development of a next version of the standard and missing features and
bugs in existing SANE standards.
</p>
<p>
The list saw extremely little traffic for years and was
discontinued during a mailing list migration in April 2018.
The <a href="http://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/sane-standard/">list's
archives</a> are, of course, still available for your perusal.
</p>
<h3>sane-commit</h3>
<p>
<em>sane-commit</em> was used to distribute email containing a
summary of changes for any push to the SANE git repositories.
These mails were not archived. After all, a <tt>git log</tt> on
an up-to-date checkout will tell you pretty much the same.
</p>
<p>
Times have changed and now
the <a href="https://gitlab.com/sane-project/">SANE git
repositories are hosted on GitLab.com</a>. We no longer send
commit summaries to a <em>sane-commit</em> list. If you are
still interested in following the changes of one or more of the
SANE Project's repositories, we suggest you subscribe to the RSS
feed for "Push events" of the repositories you're interested in.
</p>
<h3>Subscribing and unsubscribing by email</h3>
<p>
You can also subscribe to the mailing lists by sending a mail containing the word
"subscribe" in the subject to
<em>sane-devel-request@alioth-lists.debian.net</em> (exchange
<em>devel</em> by the respective list name). To unsubscribe,
send a mail containing "unsubscribe password" to that address. You get
the password by email once you have subscribed. If you lost your password,
use the web interface to get it send to you again.
</p>
<h2><a href="irc://irc.libera.chat/sane">SANE IRC Channel</a></h2>
<p>
The SANE IRC channel #sane (irc.libera.chat) is intended for
discussions about SANE and for getting help. Please be patient, answers
can take some time. Please read the documentation before asking. Tell us
which scanner, which operating system and which version of SANE
(scanimage --version) you use.
