62It is *highly* recommended to subscribe to PhpWebGallery newsletter. This is
63extremely low-traffic, but will provide you with announcements of new
[673]64PhpWebGallery releases and serious bug notification. You will find available
65mailing lists at this URL :
[595]66
[673]67                 https://gna.org/mail/?group=phpwebgallery
[595]68
[673]69Be sure that the mail address you are going to give for newsletter is
70completely unreadable by someone else than PhpWebGallery team and not
71present on any web page (a web search engine won't find it).
[595]72
73PhpWebGallery also assure you that your mail address will NEVER be used for
[673]74something else than PhpWebGallery informations.

80A forum is available and recommended for any question (installation, bug
81reports, new feature requests) :

84
85Before asking any question on the forum, do not hesitate to search for
86related topics... other users may have found same bugs, had same requests.
87
88PhpWebGallery forum is a place open to every one. Please be always
89respectful in this place. Consider also that clear messages (with simple and
90direct subjects) are always prefered. It is forbidden (and useless) to say
91that your question is "urgent", you won't be answered in priority.
