Mailing lists

NetBSD primarily "happens" on the mailing lists, and it's recommended to direct questions and contributions to the lists so your queries get noticed. If you don't want to subscribe and receive regular emails, you can browse the lists via web or NNTP and send mail without a subscription.

Most user-relevant discussions happen on netbsd-users and current-users, while the main developer-relevant lists are tech-userlevel and tech-kern.
