Got a question? Need some help? There are a number of ways to get technical and user support through our community. Read on to find out how and ask away!
Mailing Lists
Mailing lists are the primary way we communicate in the Mifos community. They work like this: You sign up for the list. Once approved, you can then send questions to the list via email. Everybody in our community on the mailing list sees your questions and can respond if they know how to help. All the questions and conversations are archived and publicly indexed so you can conveniently find answers by searching through Google.
For better ease of use, each of the mailing lists also has a web interface on Google Groups that allows you to search and post. To post via the web interface you first need to sign up for the mailing list itself and then the Google Group as well.
Apache Fineract Developers List
Writing code? Have a technical question? Building a new feature? All technical and development related questions and discussions related to the platform should happen on our Apache infrastructure. Have a question about how the Apache Fineract platform works or is designed? Want to discuss specs for a new feature. Here’s the place to go for all technical and non-technical questions related to Fineract.
- Subscribe: Send blank email to dev-subscribe@fineract.apache.org
- Send questions to dev@fineract.apache.org
- In addition, you can also browse the archives.
Mifos-Users Mailing List (non-technical)*
Have a question about how to use our Community App? Stuck while installing the Mifos distribution? Need to know how a feature or configuration setting is supposed to work? This is the place for those questions.
- Sign up for the mifos-users mailing list.
- Send questions to mifos-users@lists.sourceforge.net
- In addition, you can also browse or post through the web interface for mifos-users on Google Groups.
Mifos-Developer Mailing List (technical)*
Most likely if you’re doing technical work, you should converse on the Fineract List. If you’re only developing on the Community App or an app like the Android field officer, you can guide your questions here.
- Sign up for the mifos-developer mailing list.
- Send questions to mifos-developer@lists.sourceforge.net
- In addition, you can also browse or post through the web interface for mifos-developer on Google Groups.
Here are some tips and etiquette on how to ask good questions on the list. Visit MifosForge for full details on each of these lists and their archives.
*Current plans at the moment are to gradually migrate the traffic/communications for the Mifos mailings lists to our Mifos Slack Channels
