I can't send an e-mail to the author/maintainer! + +To reduce spam problems for our authors, we use a pretty simplistic +email-address-hiding system which consists of replacing the C<@> +character with C<(at)>. To send an e-mail, just change it back. + +=head2 Q. What is all this about Authors and Maintainers? + +It's quite simple. As many sections of our site are documents which +have been written by individuals, we like to credit our authors and +guide you to the person to contact. The authors are the original +authors of a document or someone who has contributed big sections of +it, but might not be available to contact anymore. In any case, the +person listed as a I<Maintainer> should be contacted with any changes +or remarks (you can also CC the L<documentation mailing +list|maillist::docs-dev>). See the L<download +documentation|download::docs> section about information on submitting +patches. If in doubt, contact the L<documentation mailing +list|maillist::docs-dev>. + +However, B<do not> email the maintainer with general questions, even +if they are related to the material in the doc they maintain, but +always ask at <the modperl user list|maillist::modperl>. While we make +e-mail addresses available, that doesn't mean you should just hope for +them to answer any questions you might think they have the answer +to. If you need help, ask your question at the mailing list. Otherwise +you run a very high risk of your e-mail just being deleted immediately +without ever being answered. All questions are usually answered at the +list, so don't worry about asking there. + +The rule is: + + If you feel you can help out a document, contact the Maintainer. + + If you don't understand something or need help, contact the mailing + list. + +Remember that, and you'll be fine. + =head1 Contact Info If you've read the L<FAQ|/"FAQ"> and you still have a problem, please
