2.3. Other mailing lists that might be of interest

Generally, mailing lists have a 'subscribe' and a 'post' address. Use the first address to subscribe, the second to send messages to all people on the list. Some mailing lists are automated, they require a specific format for the subscription, in most cases either a 'body' or a 'subject' line. Body lines are single lines in the main part of the email message, while subject lines are, well, subject lines. The subscription address is also used for UNsubscribing, those messages shouldn't go to the post:-addresses. 'Body:' means that the following text has to be send as a body line, 'Subject:' means it's the subject line. 'Your Name' means your real name, not your email address, 'your@address' means your email address. Sometimes several lines for several services are given. Sometimes alternate (often shorter) addresses are available too. If a list is maintained manually it's noted as 'Manually'. You should be more friendly then, and expect some reaction time (like nights, weekends, holidays) where noone is available.
