| |

| − | == Mailing List ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mailing lists are hosted by LibrePlanet at http://lists.libreplanet.org/ and each team should have one as the main communication channel for discussion and group coordination.

| − | == File hosting ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | If your group will be making documents, code, or other files available, consider using a free software hosting service designed for this. You can [https://savannah.gnu.org/register/ register a project at Savannah], the official development hosting site for the GNU Project, using the same naming standard as the mailing list. Another option is to [https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam register a Launchpad team], and then [https://edge.launchpad.net/~libreplanet/+add-my-teams add it to the global umbrella team].
