Contact the mandoc and pta developers

Users are welcome to contact the mandoc and pta developers at any time with any questions or suggestions relating to mandoc and pta. We try to answer all queries individually, but please be patient and bear with us, we are also working on other projects in parallel.

All contact addresses are in the email domain "mandoc.bsd.lv".

Mailing lists

The following four addresses are public subscription-only lists. To subscribe, send a blank e-mail to the following addresses, respectively: discuss+subscribe, tech+subscribe, source+subscribe, or pta+subscribe.

If you only want to post a single message and do not want to subscribe, sending the message to the private contact address listed at the bottom of this page is always acceptable, including for sending bug reports, even though using lists is slightly preferred for bug reports. In such a message, you can optionally provide permission to forward the message to one of the lists, which the developers will typically do when they have permission and the bug cannot be fixed at once. If that's what you want, you can also ask for the message to be forwarded in any case.
