Mailing lists/overview
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
These are the mailing lists of the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization in the state of Florida which operates Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wiktionary, Wikisource, Wikiversity and other wiki-based projects.
A mailing list is like a shared email address: messages sent to that address are distributed to all members (subscribers) of the list. See the Wikipedia article on mailing lists for more information.
Archives are available for online reading; posting generally requires signing up. The mailman list overview page can be found @ https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo
