BioJava has two main mailing lists :
9+
10+
`* `[`biojava-l`](http://www.biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-l)
11+
12+
`* `[`biojava-dev`](http://www.biojava.org/mailman/listinfo/biojava-dev)
13+
14+
In order to avoid SPAM both lists only accept postings from list
15+
members. Anybody can become a list member, so please subscribe before
16+
you post. If you send without being subscribed your mail might get stuck
17+
in the moderation loop, which can cause several weeks of delay (no fun
18+
to read through all that spam).
