Mailing Lists

There are several mailing lists available for PmWiki.

[ pmwiki-users ]
This is a great resource where a very helpful group of people will answer questions and discuss PmWiki development. As of 2016, traffic is around 20–40 messages a month.
If you ask a question on the list and it doesn’t get answered, don’t feel let down. Just ask it again. It probably slipped by unnoticed.
[ pmwiki-users-de ]
A mailing list for german-speaking users of PmWiki. Archived at
[ pmwiki-users-es ]
Lista de usuarios PmWiki en Español.
[ pmwiki-users-fr ]
A mailing list for french-speaking users of PmWiki.
[ pmwiki-devel ]
This list was created to lower the traffic on pmwiki-users, it focuses on discussions surrounding code development for PmWiki (both core and recipe development).
[ pmwiki-announce ]
Announcements of new version releases and urgent information, about 1–2 messages per month. If you use PmWiki in a production environment, this low-volume list is highly recommended. The archive is at:
Suggestions:
  • If you reply to a digest message, please remove the messages irrelevant to your reply before sending it back to the list.
    • It’s also helpful to change “Re: pmwiki-users Digest, Vol […]” to “Re: [the original subject]” because some mail programs determine threads based on the subject.
  • If you address a reply to a single list member, please take the [pmwiki-users] off the subject line, or it’s possible for your message to get lost in the mailing list traffic. Many people filter list traffic to a separate mailbox.
  • If you ask a question, you should disable “digest” mode, this way you’ll receive the replies as soon as people post them, and you could follow-up. In digest mode you might receive the replies a week or two later.

Changing mail list settings

Here are some tips regarding changing the mailing list settings:

  and enter your e-mail address in the field at the bottom of the page,
  to the left of the button Unsubscribe or edit options.
  • Next you need to enter your password. As you’ve probably forgotten this,
  use the button Remind at the bottom of the page to get a new password.
  • Finally enter the password you should get momentarily via e-mail.
  • You can directly go to the options web page through a URI such as the
 following:
http://host.pmichaud.com/mailman/options/pmwiki-users/<user>%40<domain>
where <user> is everything before the @ in an e-mail address,
  and <domain> is everything after (
  For those who wonder, the %40 in the URI just stands for ‘@’.
  • You can also obtain various help by sending an email to
 pmwiki-users-request [snail] pmichaud [period] com with the text help in either
 the subject or the body.
