Sending E-Mail to the Developers

When you have problems or questions, do not hesitate to write an e-mail to the daVinci developers. Before doing so, please consult the latest bugreport and this online documentation (especially chapter Questions & Answers) to see if there is already a solution for your problem. The daVinci project is also glad to be informed about applications of this software, suggestions for new features, or even criticism.

Visiting the daVinci WWW Server

To get more information about daVinci, you should visit the WWW server of the daVinci project at Universität Bremen (Center for Computing Technology, TZI) from time to time. There you can read more about:

Subscribing or Sending e-mail to the Mailing Lists

The daVinci project maintains two mailing lists. One to inform users about announcements and other news related to daVinci (daVinci-announce), the other for open discussions of daVinci users (daVinci-users). You are automatically asked to subscribe to these lists with the first use of the software (starting at version 2.1.1). If you want to subscribe manually, please write an e-mail to majordomo@zfn.uni-bremen.DE containing the line(s) 
  subscribe daVinci-announce
  subscribe daVinci-users
  end
or only one of both subscribe-lines, if you don't want to subscribe both lists are already subscribed to one of the lists. The subject of the e-mail is ignored.

daVinci-announce is a moderated list. If you have an announcement relevant for all daVinci users, send an e-mail to daVinci-announce@majordomo.zfn.uni-bremen.DE the mail will be reviewed by the daVinci-project and send to the list if it is considered relevant.

daVinci-users is an open discussion list. Send e-mail for this list to: daVinci-users@tzi.DE.

Getting the latest Bugreport

The latest bugreport contains information about all known bugs and problems in daVinci, their current state and available fixes or work-arounds. The developers will update this report as soon as a new bug is found or a fix is released. When you find a malfunction in daVinci, please consult this report first to see if this is an already known problem.

Getting the latest Questions & Answers

The latest version of the Questions & Answers document is available on the daVinci WWW server. You have a local copy of this document which may not reflect the current state, so it might be a good idea to take a look into the latest version in case of problems.

Downloading daVinci

To download daVinci, it is recommended to use this form to get additional information about the distributions. You can also download daVinci directly from the ftp-server at Universität Bremen (Center for Computing Technology, TZI) (ftp://ftp.tzi.de/tzi/biss/daVinci). This is the place where you can find the latest version. Other servers are mirroring daVinci, but it usually takes some time to see a new release on one of the mirrors.
