At the moment, only akane.momonga-linux.org is used as project server. The equipments and the network connection are provided by a project member, takahata.
"akane" is just and only a server machine to the last. Please remember that it is not for building packages or storing files. For any reason a member must build packages with "akane", you should consult in the members-ML.
Once a member account is created, the member is added to a group, momonga. Depending on the member's activity in the project, the member is also added to other appropriate groups.
Each member will be given an e-mail address as in
login-name@momonga-linux.org
The mail address is activated immediately after the account issuance. In principle, each member is expected to arrange forwarding e-mails as follows.
$ slogin akane.momonga-linux.org
Enter passphrase for key : (Enter your SSH passphrase)
Then create ~/.forward to forward mails to your e-mail
address other than at momonga-linux.org.
In addition, please do not set up forwarding to a cellular phone since it
is often faulty in many cases.
Moreover, we have aliases forwarding e-mails sent to webmaster@, admin@, etc. to appropriate members in charge of the related matter. For details, slogin and look at the alias file. :)

|---|---|
#momonga and #momonga-en are open channels. Since anybody can join in the channel, caution is required not to ask or pass some secret matters, such as a password. In such case, use PRIV function in IRC, or ask the person in charge or ask in the members-ML described in the following. | |
When you get a member account, you are also registered in this mailing list. The members-ML is for communication among the members dealing with questions and discussion of various tasks before putting things to public. Basically, communications about issues related to the project should be discussed in the members-ML, not in person-to-person basis communication. Please use discretion to differentiate members-ML, devel.en, users.en according to what you write.
Almost all the work of the project utilizes subversion. This means that it is often the case that another member may modify the very part you just worked on. If it seems that there is a problem on modifications, report it to members-ML or devel.en depending on the problem, not to an individual member, to let all the member know of the problem.
To write to members-ML use the following address.
members@momonga-linux.org
When you get a member account, write to the members-ML for greetings as well as a test.
Address to send command mails is
members-ctl@momonga-linux.org
It may be a good idea to get the log of the member-ML and read it through. To get the log, send e-mail to members-ctl@momonga-linux.org with a line like
mget 1-100
as the message text.

done by the member himself/herself in the following manner; checkout the svnconf module of the subversion repository,
add or delete the member account name to or from the file commit-mail-<category>
