Mailing Lists

jQuery has many active mailing lists where you can feel free to discuss jQuery, ask questions, talk about JavaScript, or announce your plugins.

Contacting a Mailing List

• First, in order to submit a question to a mailing list, you must be subscribed to the list (this is to help curtail malicious users). We also have a number of different lists:
  • General Discussion - this is the best place to post if you have general questions or concerns. Also, if you've built a site that uses jQuery, or would like to announce a new plugin, this is the place to do it.
  • jQuery Dev List - This mailing list centers around the jQuery library itself. Post here if you have questions about certain bugs, development with jQuery, features, or anything in the bug tracker or SVN.
  • jQuery Web List - If you are having problems with the jQuery web site, having suggestions for new features, or wish to help the development process of the jQuery site.
  • jQuery Plugins List - If you are a plugin author or user and you wish to discuss specific plugins, plugin bugs, new features, or new plugins.
• Now that you've subscribed to the mailing lists of your choosing, you can send an email to the following addresses:
  • General Discussion: jquery-en@googlegroups.com
  • jQuery Dev List: jquery-dev@googlegroups.com
  • jQuery Web List: web@jquery.com
  • jQuery Plugins List: jquery-plugins@googlegroups.com

RSS Feed

If you prefer, rather than subscribing to the full General Discussion mailing list, you can subscribe to an RSS Feed of the list, containing all of the posts:
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/feeds

Archives

Currently, there are two different ways of browsing the mailing list archives.

• The official mailing list archives can be found here:
  • General Discussion Archives
  • jQuery Dev List Archives
  • jQuery Web List Archives
  • jQuery Plugins List Archives
• Also, an interactive, browsable, version of the General Discussion mailing list can be found on Nabble (a forum-like mailing list mirror):

Unsubscribing

You can manage your mailing list subscriptions, including subscribing, or unsubscribing, from the mailing list here:

• jQuery General Discussion
• jQuery Dev List
• jQuery Web List
• jQuery Plugins List

IRC Channel

jQuery also has an active IRC Channel, hosted by FreeNode.

The IRC Channel is best if you need quick help with any of the following:

• JavaScript
• jQuery Syntax
• Problem Solving
• Strange bugs

If your problem is more in-depth, we may ask you to post to the mailing list, or the bug tracker, so that we can help you in a more-suitable environment.

Connecting

Use the following information to connect to the channel:

Server: irc.freenode.net
