Mailing lists

New Email lists Subscribe to new email lists hosted at https://lists.foswiki.org/wws/. This new server has properly configured DMARC and DKIM. Messages sent by lists.foswiki.org will be appropriately signed. The mailing lists hosted by Sourceforge are currently not working. If you want security and new release announcements you should subscribe to the new lists. We are unable to transfer any subscriptions.

The complete list of hosted mailing lists is at: https://lists.foswiki.org/wws/lists

foswiki-announce@lists.foswiki.org - Announcements about Foswiki project (low volume)

This is the mailing list all Foswiki users should subscribe to. We keep the traffic to an absolute minimum. Maybe one posting per month. Security alerts are posted to this list.

This list is used for:

Announcements of Foswiki releases
Announcements of security alerts

foswiki-security@lists.foswiki.org - Security vulnerability reports (confidential)

Submit security issues to this list. You cannot subscribe to this list - only the security team members can see postings - so it can be used to warn us of potential security problems. Security alerts are announced in the foswiki-announce mailing list. (The security procedure is outlined under SecurityAlertProcess)

When the security team deals with your post it will answer you directly so you can follow the progress of your alert.
