You really, really should be on the relevant mailing lists if you are on or thinking about walking the Arusha Way. Note: the lists' pages include subscription info, and also links to the lists' archives.

ark-announce:

This list is solely for Project announcements; it is very-low-volume and moderated. You should definitely be on this one!

ark-dev:

This list is for all discussion of the Arusha Project, whether about usage, putative bugs, future development, philosophical musings, ... all discussion :-)

`ark-dev' traffic is a few messages per month, please consider subscribing.

ark-commits:

Every cvs commit to the main ARK repository at SourceForge generates a log message to this list. For the deeply hard core, or if you like lots and lots of mail.

ark-users:

We used to have an `ark-users' list, but it was overkill -- please use ark-dev instead.

There are also a few non-Arusha, general mailing lists that deal with system-configuration issues. If you are serious about this subject, we heartily recommend them:

lssconf-discuss:: Hosted by Paul Anderson, and an outgrowth of the Configuration Workshops he has led, this list is for discussing How To Do System Configuration Correctly, often taking a fairly high-level view.
infrastructures:: Hosted by Steve Traugott, and slightly inclined towards the ISconf tool, this list may fairly be used for any `infrastructure'-inclined discussion.
