Welcome to the Jewish Liturgy Project/Open Siddur Discussion List
This
list carries all public discussion and announcement material. Some of
it is highly technical in nature; other discussions are about project
goals, feature requests, or usability.
The project is in an
early stage of development, and we are working toward a useful and
usable product. As an open source project, we can only advance by the
contributions made by our developers. To learn more about what is
happening now and where help is required, see the development status
page at
http://wiki.jewishliturgy.org/Development_statusFeel
free to introduce yourself to the group by sending an introductory
email. You may include your own interests in the project in this email
and/or tell us what aspect(s) of the project you would like to help
develop. The following are guidelines for communicating on the list that help our discussions:
- When posting to the list, please keep in mind that
you are talking to real people and that whenever you press send, many
other people will get an email in their inbox.
- All list discussions are archived at http://groups.google.com/group/jewishliturgy-discuss/
- Please keep discussions on-topic.
- When responding to an email, it is good practice to quote just enough
context in your email message so a reader can follow the chain of
discussion without reading the entire previous message (inline posting
style, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Inline_replying)
- When replying, please reply to the list unless the poster asked to be cc:'d or emailed privately.
- Disagreement is expected, and should be conducted with the principles
of dereḥ eretz (common courtesy and consideration) in mind. A guideline is to keep discussion
focused on ideas, instead of on the messenger.
- We have a zero tolerance policy for spam. Sending a single spam message to the list results in a permanent ban.
