Specific CMS Development Communities

Mailing lists for specific CM systems can usually be found on their websites. You can look up the CMS in the CMS Review product directories.

Hosted Systems
Open Source
Proprietary
News Portals
Weblogs
Wikis

All systems in the CMSML database have mailing list addresses, when they exist.

Another place to look is on SourceForge. Not every project runs its own list-serv.

Finally, you can submit a post to CMS Info on one of the project forums and inquire about their mailing list.

Here are developer mailing addresses for some specific projects.
