Thunderbird/CommunicationChannels

These are the various communication channels used in the Thunderbird project. Please add them all here, so that we can have some kind of a portal to point people who want to get involved with the project to.

How to subscribe

Newsgroups are accessible through a newsgroup client (hum, let me think about one, oh yes, Thunderbird), and all of them are accessible as google groups or through a mailing list service.
