Marine Metadata Interoperability Mailing Lists

The following lists are maintained by the MMI Project.

MMI News Mailing List: Relatively low-frequency announcements (monthly newsletter plus occasional updates) about MMI and general metadata topics.
MMI Metadata Information Forum ('ask'): A forum to ask general (or specific) questions about metadata. Experts from the metadata community will offer answers and opinions, or will suggest other sources of information.
MMI Site Help: Technical details about the MMI site: Issues and answers about plone, zope, mailman, apache, and their configuration on our system. (Mostly for site contributors, but anyone can see or sign up for the list.)
Internal MMI Support Lists (must be logged in): MMI maintains numerous internal lists accessible to members. Send mail to the site lead for more information on contributing.
