There are several mailing lists available for PmWiki.
- [ pmwiki-users(approve sites) ]
- 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.

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:
- Logging in...
- First go to https://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users(approve sites) 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:
https://www.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@pmichaud.com with the text
help
in either the subject or the body.
