The WordPress project has a number of email lists focused on different facets of development. Note that none of these lists is appropriate for user support. The best place for user support is the Support Forums.
These announcement lists are one-way only and are low traffic (a few emails per year).
This list is meant for major announcements regarding the WordPress project, like new releases.
Information about new APIs, API changes and other news for developers is sent out to this list.
This list is only open to developers who have a plugin in the WordPress Plugins Directory or a theme in the WordPress Themes Directory.
You can subscribe to or unsubscribe from any of the Announcement Mailing Lists by editing your WordPress.org forums profile.
These discussion lists are two-way and can be very high traffic (easily dozens of emails per day).
The wp-docs list was created to facilitate coordination and collaboration between members of the community who want to contribute to WordPress documentation. No coding skills required, just a lot of patience. The list tends to be low-traffic, but can have bursts of activity.
The wp-hackers list is meant for people interested in extending WordPress either through plugins or improvements to the core code. Serious discussion that determines the future direction of the WordPress codebase takes place here. The list can be fairly high traffic at times, if you don't want to subscribe check out the summary.
The wp-xmlrpc list for the XML-RPC topic relating to WordPress.
The wp-ui list is meant for people to to discuss ways to improve the interface or user experience of WordPress, and to discuss progress on design-related projects.
The wp-testers list is meant for people to discuss the current nightly or alpha/beta version of wordpress. If you want to discuss the latest nightly or a certain bug report left on the trac, feel free to drop in. See Using Subversion for information on where to download development versions of WordPress.
The WordPress Support Forum Volunteers work hard to help users answer questions about WordPress. Discussions pertaining to providing support to users and WordPress Forum issues and activities are found in the WordPress Support Forum Mailing list. Support questions will not be answered. If you would like to volunteer to help on the WordPress Forum, we recommend you sign up for the wp-forums mailing list.
THIS IS NOT A SUPPORT MAILING LIST.
It is for Support Volunteers Only.
For specific WordPress support questions, please direct your inquiries to WordPress Support Forum.
While the Forums are a great resource for those in the WordPress community with technical and development questions, the forum format doesn't work for everyone. If you prefer the mailing list format as well, join the Community Support mailing list (named "WP Garage"). Anyone can join the group, and benefit from the ability to easily ask and answer questions.
The wp-polyglots mailing list has been created keeping the needs of translators in mind. If you are interested in translating WordPress to suit your locale and language preferences, or would like to get involved in discussions regarding the same, consider joining this list.
Sometimes there are professional consulting opportunities surrounding some aspect of the WordPress codebase for people who are familiar with the program. This list is for people looking for WordPress consulting to connect with professionals who provide it. This is the list for you if you are looking for professional paid help regarding WordPress
Updates to the SVN repository are mirrored on the WP- SVN mailing list. Whenever a change is checked in to the WordPress repository an email is sent to the wp-svn list with a listing of each of the lines that changed. This is very useful if you want to follow WordPress development very closely. This is an announcement-only list, which means if you want to discuss a change please use the hackers list.
The wp-svn list supercedes the old CVS mailing list.
The archives for the CVS mailing list are available for historic purposes at the following location:
The wp-trac reports additions and changes to Tickets at Trac, the WordPress bug tracking system.
For the Announcement Mailing Lists, see the Subscribing / Unsubscribing section above.
For the Community Mailing Lists, visit the webpages listed above under the appropriate mailing list. You can also perform certain actions on these mailing lists by sending special emails to specific email addresses. Please do not send emails to the list itself asking to be unsubscribed, or removed. Use the webpage for the list or the following email commands :
These email commands work only when you send mail from the mail account for which you want to change or update preferences. In the following section <list-name> stands for the name of the list in questions, such as 'hackers' or 'wp-docs'. If in doubt, remember that the <list-name> is the same as the portion that precedes the @wordpress.org in the email address you use to send emails to the mailing list.
You can request help regarding managing preferences and subscription options by sending a mail to <list-name>-request@lists.automattic.com with "help" in the Subject of the email. For example, to request help with preferences and options for the wp-hackers mailing list, you should send an email to wp-hackers-request@lists.automattic.com with the word "help" (without the quotes, of course), in the Subject field of the email.
You can subscribe to the list by sending an email to <list-name>-subscribe@lists.automattic.com with "subscribe" in the Subject of the email.
You can unsubscribe from the list by sending an email to <list-name>-unsubscribe@lists.automattic.com with "unsubscribe" in the Subject Field.
