Zsh is now maintained by +the members of the zsh-workers mailing list <zsh-workers@zsh.org>. +The development is currently coordinated by Peter Stephenson +<pws@zsh.org>. The coordinator can be contacted at +<coordinator@zsh.org>, but matters relating to the code should +generally go to the mailing list. + +Availability +------------ + +Zsh is available from the following HTTP and anonymous FTP site. + +ftp://ftp.zsh.org/pub/ +https://www.zsh.org/pub/ + +The up-to-date source code is available via Git from Sourceforge. See +https://sourceforge.net/projects/zsh/ for details. A summary of +instructions for the archive can be found at +https://zsh.sourceforge.io/. + + +Mailing Lists +------------- + +Zsh has several mailing lists: + + <zsh-announce@zsh.org> + Announcements about releases, major changes in the shell and the + monthly posting of the Zsh FAQ. (moderated) + + <zsh-users@zsh.org> + User discussions. + + <zsh-workers@zsh.org> + Hacking, development, bug reports and patches. + + <zsh-security@zsh.org> + Private mailing list (the general public cannot subscribe to it) for discussing + bug reports with security implications, i.e., potential vulnerabilities. + + If you find a security problem in zsh itself, please mail this address. + +To subscribe or unsubscribe, send mail +to the associated administrative address for the mailing list. + + <zsh-announce-subscribe@zsh.org> + <zsh-users-subscribe@zsh.org> + <zsh-workers-subscribe@zsh.org> + + <zsh-announce-unsubscribe@zsh.org> + <zsh-users-unsubscribe@zsh.org> + <zsh-workers-unsubscribe@zsh.org> + +YOU ONLY NEED TO JOIN ONE OF THE MAILING LISTS AS THEY ARE NESTED. +All submissions to zsh-announce are automatically forwarded to +zsh-users. All submissions to zsh-users are automatically +forwarded to zsh-workers. + +If you have problems subscribing/unsubscribing to any of the mailing +lists, send mail to <listmaster@zsh.org>. + +The mailing lists are archived; the archives can be accessed via the +administrative addresses listed above.

It is intended to complement the +manual, with explanations and hints on issues where the manual can be +cabbalistic, hierographic, or downright mystifying (for example, the word +`hierographic' does not exist). It can be viewed in its current state at +https://zsh.sourceforge.io/Guide/. At the time of writing, chapters +dealing with startup files and their contents and the new completion system +were essentially complete. |
