+Getting more information
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Project pages
+'''''''''''''
+
+The number one place to find more information about Robot Framework
+is the project web site at http://robotframework.org. This User Guide is
+naturally available there but you can also find more documentation__,
+an `issue tracker`__, downloads__, `source code`__ and links to other
+related projects. Robot Framework is hosted on `Google Code`__ which
+provides excellent free services for open source projects.

+
+Mailing lists
+'''''''''''''
+
+There are several Robot Framework mailing lists where to ask and
+search for more information. The mailing list archives are open for
+everyone (including the search engines) and everyone can also join
+these lists freely. Only list members can send mails, though, and to
+prevent spam new users are moderated which means that it might take a
+little time before your first message goes through. Do not be afraid
+to send question to mailing lists but remember `How To Ask Questions
+The Smart Way`__.
+
+robotframework-users__
+ General discussion about all Robot Framework related
+ issues. Questions and problems can be sent to this list. Used also
+ for information sharing for all users.
+
+robotframework-announce__
+ An announcements-only mailing list where only moderators can send
+ messages. All announcements are sent also to the
+ robotframework-users mailing list so there is no need to join both
+ lists.
+
+robotframework-devel__
+ Discussion about Robot Framework development.
+
+robotframework-commit__
+ Automatically generated mails about commits to the version control
+ system, build results, new and edited issues, and so on. Can be used to
+ follow Robot Framework development.
