The communication between the developers and the user community in the Apache Turbine project is intended to be as open and accessible as possible. This is why we prefer to have public mailing lists to which everyone can subscribe and which are archived.

For bug reporting and issue tracking, Turbine uses the JIRA bug tracker at the Apache Software Foundation. Please report bugs using the tracker, if you send them to the mailing lists, most of the times a member of the Turbine Community will point you there anyway. Using the bug tracker makes sure that your bug report is recorded and processed in a timely manner.

Mailing lists

Please be aware that sending confidential or private data to these lists is strongly discouraged and if this happens, we can not do anything to remove or erase this information from public archives.

We also strongly frown upon disclaimers attached to mails sent to these lists that declare the contents to be confidential, private or only intended for the recipient. But we understand that these disclaimers are often beyond your control. However, by sending mail to a Turbine mailing list, the intended recipient is the general public.
