Mailing lists
There are a couple of AROS-related mailing lists available, mainly for people who prefer to receive information this way:
-
This is the developer mailing list, where discussions about the development of AROS are held. It is highly recommended for developers to join this list, as it will otherwise be quite hard to keep up to date on current developments. Since there aren't that many AROS developers, the volume on this list is generally quite low, but it can become quite high during heated discussions.
Note
Subscription requests to this list are not handled automatically, but every request is verified by the list administrator. So, there might be some delay from the time you send a subscription request to when you actually become a member.
-
This is a read-only developer mailing list, to which logs are automatically posted whenever something is committed to the AROS repositories. If you want almost real-time feedback on the commit activity in the AROS repositories, this is the list for you. The volume of traffic to this list can be very high.
-
The website build script sends mail to this list, so that developers involved in its operation and maintenance can fix issues when they arise.
Follow the links to the administrative pages for information on how to subscribe, unsubscribe, accessing the archives and other useful functions.
Forum
AROSWorld is a popular community portal for AROS. There, you can find the latest news related to AROS, online discussion forums, picture galleries, and much more. It's the perfect meeting place for AROS users from all over the world, and a few AROS core developers are known to frequent there.
IRC Channels
Probably the best known IRC channel for AROS, is unsurprisingly named #aros, on the FreeNode network. Please connect to irc.freenode.net, which will redirect to a server close to you. It's for discussing everything and anything related to AROS, including development and how to take over the world. On rare occasions, when the main channel is very noisy, development-related discussions move to #aros.dev.
