Mailing List
A mailing list named datavision-users@lists.sourceforge.net
has been created for the discussion of tips, tricks, suggestions, bugs, and
workarounds. You must be a member of the list to post to the list. This
requirement was added to avoid spam.
To see the complete list of DataVision mailing lists (there is only one so far), visit the DataVision Mailing Lists page on SourceForge.
The datavision-users
mailing list has its own mailing
list users page where you can subscribe, see the archived list of
messages, and edit your preferences.
