You may subscribe and unsubscribe at your leisure. Most lists have certain rules and etiquettes that may be learned by watching how the list conducts itself over time -- sometimes they're written more explicitly, but not always. A thing to keep in mind is that every message sent to the mailing list will be received by everyone on it, so it's best to make sure that messages are meaningful or interesting. If you have questions, try to research your questions as best as you can and provide that information so that people can assist you more quickly. If you're joining our list to look for small projects or contributions you could make as a stepping stone to something greater, check out these pages on our wiki: https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute https://wiki.qemu.org/Google_Summer_of_Code_2018 https://wiki.qemu.org/Outreachy_2018_MayAugust Many pages eventually link to this one: https://wiki.qemu.org/BiteSizedTasks Which we use to put small project ideas that are useful for new contributors to familiarize themselves with the codebase. Hopefully this information is useful to you. --js
