===Communication===
Eclipse projects have three communication channels: a mailing list for developers, a newsgroup for users, and Bugzilla. Ganymede, although not a "project" per se, will use the same structure:
* cross-projects-issues-dev [https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-project-issues-dev] - mailing list for developers and releng
* eclipse.simultaneous-release (TBC) - newsgroup for users
* bugzilla ([https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?assigned_to=cross-project.inbox%40eclipse.org&blocked=&bug_file_loc=http%3A%2F%2F&bug_severity=normal&bug_status=NEW&comment=&component=Cross-Project&contenttypeentry=&contenttypemethod=autodetect&contenttypeselection=text%2Fplain&data=&dependson=&description=&flag_type-1=X&flag_type-2=X&flag_type-4=X&flag_type-6=X&form_name=enter_bug&keywords=&maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20template&op_sys=Windows%20XP&priority=P3&product=Community&qa_contact=&rep_platform=PC&short_desc=&version=unspecified new] & [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&classification=Eclipse+Foundation&product=Community&component=Cross-Project&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= search]) Eclipse Foundation > Community > Cross-Project
