Mailing list not clearly shown from project home page

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The steps to submit patches in Git suggest that patches should be sent to the 
developer mailing 
list. However, (a) that's potentially out of date, and (b) it's not the Eclipse 
Way, which tends to 
prefer patches to be attached to issues. (Not that we're there yet, but never 
mind...)

So, can we add the developer mailing list to the project homepage, and/or 
consider the way of 
moving forwards? In the interim, I've attached patches for issue 64 to stash 
them somewhere.

Is this it? http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git Seems to be a 
mix of E/JGit and Git patches 
there.

So, the 'getting started' page lists the 'git' mailing list, but it's not 
immediately obvious that it's the same list 
being co-used for JGit/EGit development. 

Can we add the dev list to the home page to make it explicit that that's the 
list to use?

Ok, the ML is in the links section now and the Majordomo page added to the
SUBMITTING_PATCHES file.

(#0) We are not an Eclipse project just yet. We'll continue business as usual 
until
then. When (if?) we become an offical Eclipse project we'll have to change a 
lot of
things, including our web presence, mailing list and (maybe) even the model for
submitting patches. Even though I think mailing them is much more convenient 
than
tracker attachments. Mylyn integration will change all of that ofcourse. I am
convinced we will have a lively disussion on this soon in the Egit newsgreoup on
Eclipse.

(#1) That's the one. It is the Git Mailing list that we "hijacked" for the time 
being.
And yes, it's both EGit/JGit (and C Git). JGit and EGit evolve tightly and even 
(for
historical reasons) share the same repository, though EGIT/JGIT parts go into
different projects and have different licences. I imagine a split will happen 
in a not
too distant future.

(#2) I've added few more items to the Links section.

If you want to discuss the future organization of the project please use the 
newsgroup
references in http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/egit/  for that purpose. After 
all
becoming an Eclipse project is Plan A.

OK, thanks for adding the link to the home page - you can mark this as 
verified/closed or whatever. I'll post 
onto the newsgroup too.
