-@section Where can I get more information?
-
-@subsection Where's the documentation?
-
-If you have installed Cygwin, you can find lots of documentation in
-@samp{/usr/share/doc/}. Many packages ship with standard documentation,
-you can find this in a directory @samp{/usr/share/doc/@emph{package_name}}.
-In addition, some packages have Cygwin specific instructions in a file
-@samp{/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/@emph{package_name}.README}. Some older
-packages still keep their documentation in @samp{/usr/doc/} instead of
-@samp{/usr/share/doc/}.
-
-There are links to quite a lot of it on the main Cygwin project web
-page: @file{http://cygwin.com/}. Be sure to at least
-read any 'Release Notes' or 'Readme' or 'read this' links on the main
-web page, if there are any.
-
-There is a comprehensive Cygwin User's Guide at
-@file{http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html}
-and an API Reference at
-@file{http://cygwin.com/cygwin-api/cygwin-api.html}.
-
-You can find documentation for the individual GNU tools at
-@file{http://www.fsf.org/manual/}. (You should read GNU manuals from a
-local mirror, check @file{http://www.fsf.org/server/list-mirrors.html}
-for a list of them.)
-
-@subsection What Cygwin mailing lists can I join?
-
-Comprehensive information about the Cygwin mailing lists can be found at
-@file{http://cygwin.com/lists.html}.
-
-To subscribe to the main list, send a message to
-cygwin-subscribe@@cygwin.com. To unsubscribe from the
-main list, send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@@cygwin.com.
-In both cases, the subject and body of the message are ignored.
-
-Similarly, to subscribe to the Cygwin announcements list, send a message
-to cygwin-announce-subscribe@@cygwin.com. To unsubscribe,
-send a message to cygwin-announce-unsubscribe@@cygwin.com.
-
-If you are going to help develop the Cygwin library by volunteering for
-the project, you will want to subscribe to the Cygwin developers list,
-called cygwin-developers. If you are contributing to Cygwin tools &
-applications, rather than the library itself, then you should subscribe
-to cygwin-apps. The same mechanism as described for the first two lists
-works for these as well. Both cygwin-developers and cygwin-apps are
-by-approval lists.
-
-There is a searchable archive of the main mailing list at
-@file{http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/}. There is an alternate
-archive, also searchable, at @file{http://www.delorie.com/archives/}.
-You can also search at @file{http://www.google.com/} and include
-"cygwin" in the list of search terms.
-
-Cygwin mailing lists are not gatewayed to USENET, so anti-spam measures
-in your email address are neither required nor appreciated. Also, avoid
-sending HTML content to Cygwin mailing lists.
-
-@subsection Posting Guidelines (Or: Why won't you/the mailing list answer my questions?)
-
-If you follow these guidelines, you are much more likely to get a
-helpful response from the Cygwin developers and/or the Cygwin community at
-large:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item Read the User's Guide and the FAQ first.
-@item Check the mailing list archives. Your topic may have come up
-before. (It may even have been answered!) Use the search facilities
-at the links above. Try the alternate site if the main archive is not
-producing search results.
-@item Explain your problem carefully and completely. "I installed Blah
-and it doesn't work!" wastes everybody's time. It provides no
-information for anyone to help you with your problem. You should
-provide:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item A problem statement: How does it behave, how do you think it
-should behave, and what makes you think it's broken? (Oh yeah, and what
-is @emph{"it"}?)
-@item Information about your Windows OS ("Win95 OSR2" or "NT4/SP3" or
-"Win2K" or "Win98 SE" or ...).
-@item Details about your installation process, or attempts at same. (Internet or
-Directory install? If the former, exactly when and from what mirror?
-If the latter, which packages did you download? Which version of
-setup.exe? Any subsequent updates?)
-@item Details about your Cygwin setup, accomplished by @emph{attaching}
-the output of 'cygcheck -s -v -r' to your message. (Do not paste the
-output into your message.)
-@item A valid return address, so that a reply doesn't require manual editing of
-the 'To:' header.
-@end itemize
-
-@item Your message must be relevant to the list. Messages that are
-@emph{not} directly related to Cygwin are considered off-topic and are
-unwelcome. For example, the following are off-topic:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item General programming language questions
-@item General Windows programming questions
-@item General UNIX shell programming questions
-@item General application usage questions
-@item How to make millions by working at home
-@item Announcements from LaserJet toner cartridge suppliers
-@end itemize
-
-@item Read and obey ``How To Ask Questions The Smart Way'' by Eric
-S. Raymond, at @file{http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html}.
-
-@end itemize
-
-If you do not follow the above guidelines, you may still elicit a
-response, but you may not appreciate it!
-
-For inquiries about support contracts and commercial licensing, visit
-@file{http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/}.
-
-Beyond that, perhaps nobody has time to answer your question. Perhaps
-nobody knows the answer.
