Are there any Zaurus-related mailing lists?

Unfortunately not many. Many of the mailing lists previously available that were linked on this page have disappeared. Many of the others are not very active. Generally speaking it is safe to say that the web boards are most active (which is unfortunate for users on non-permanent connections to the Internet).

A lot of above-mentioned mailing lists are gated to gmane.org and can be read via NNTP. If you find an ML that is not yet carried suggest it for inclusion.
