=== podlings at incubator.apache.org

This email alias is for the `dev` lists for all active podlings. We use it for incubator-wide announcements so podling participants don't need to subscribe to `general` to get all information. Send email to `podlings@incubator` as a BCC, sent to general, to avoid spamming all of the podlings.

=== Podling Email Lists

Each podling under incubation has its own email lists, which should be easily discovered via the podling website or via the link:/projects/index.html[podling status pages]. These are the right place to get involved with a particular project or to ask project-specific questions. They form the public record of the development of the project. All lists are link:http://mail-archives.apache.org[archived].

=== Foundation-wide Email Lists

Many link:http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html[ASF-wide lists] will be of interest to Incubator participants. The link:http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-legal[legal discussion], link:http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-infrastructure[infrastructure], and link:http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html#foundation-community[community] lists are especially relevant for PPMC members and release managers trying to develop their knowledge and stay current.
