- The mailing list is a good way to ask questions about Dojo
- check the archive first
- if you don’t find an answer, join the list
- when asking a question
- provide a succinct description of the problem and what you’re trying to do
- a short javascript example of what’s not working
== The List ==
the dojo-interest mailing list is at [[http://mail.dojotoolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/dojo-interest]]
== The Archive ==
- the mailing list is archived by Nabble and pipermail
- current questions and posts
- [[http://www.nabble.com/Dojo-f36462.html]]
- all new posts should go here, but it’s only a few months old
- March 9, 2009 thru present
- there’s another archive on nabble, but it only gets a subset of the posts
- use it to check for older answers, but don’t use it for new questions
