__NOTOC__
ConTeXt Mailing lists store years of precious Q&A. You can also have a look to the other ConTeXt Community '''[[Web_resources|Web resources]]'''.
{{ThreeColumnsHighlight
* Discussions regarding the ConTeXt wiki. Recommended for all ConTeXt Wiki users.
}}
They are hosted by:
* the ContextGarden - [https://lists.contextgarden.net/mailman/listinfo/ Mailman interface],
* and [https://www.mail-archive.com mail-archive.com] for the archives:
** [https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl '''ntg-context''' archives] with [https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=ntg-context%40ntg.nl&q=context&a=1 search interface].** [https://www.mail-archive.com/dev-context@ntg.nl '''dev-context''' archives] with [https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=dev-context%40ntg.nl&q=context&a=1 search interface].

=== #1. Before asking on the list ===
* '''ask Google''': the easiest way to search are the two search buttons on the left on this wiki which will search through:
** The command [http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/contextversion \contextversion] provides the version number of context
=== #2. Composing your message ===
* try to '''avoid sending PDFs or other huge documents'''
* On ConTeXt lists, bottom-posted replies are the norm. That is, if you are quoting part of the previous message, place it above your own text, rather than including the entire previous message at the end.
=== #3. Once you get the answer ===
* please provide feedback if the solution worked or not
* unless it was a bug report, please write something on the wiki, so that others will find the answer to the same question easier in the future
=== #4. If you didn't get any answer ===
* Was your question too general?
** This doesn't happen very often, sometimes you get an answer stating that there's no solution known to the people reading the list. Think if you can simplify your problem.
* Try asking back after a week or so. Sometimes everyone is busy or on holidays.
