Like many free software projects, the mailing lists are the main means of getting support from the rest of the community. Details of the main project lists are below. If unsure, send it to discuss-gnustep and include an invitation to direct you to a more appropriate list. Please notice that some lists are at gnu.org and some are at gna.org else you may get an error back.
Mailing Lists

For Users and Developers
- This is the most active list for all general discussions and questions. We also would like to hear about ideas for applications for the GNUstep environment and related issues.
- For infos and announcements related to GNUstep libraries and applications.
- For discussions related to GNUstep applications. This list is rarely read, so it is better to use discuss-gnustep.
- For help with GNUstep libraries and applications. This list is rarely read, so it is better to use discuss-gnustep.
For Developers

- Mailing list for people who package GNUstep itself and related GNUstep apps.
- Discussion about the GNUstep User Interface, its look and behaviour.
- Marketing and promotion of the GNUstep project and its applications.
- For comments and discussions about GNUstep web pages.
IRC
Some, but not all, GNUstep developers can also be reached through IRC at [1]. If that link doesn't work for you, connect manually to irc.freenode.net (or irc.gnu.org or irc.debian.org, same network) and /join #GNUstep.
Examples of IRC clients you can use: xchat (UNICES and Windows), Pidgin (UNICES and Windows), mirc (Windows) or TalkSoup on GNUstep's LiveCD for Intel or irssi from a bash shell.
Newsgroups
GMANE carries the GNUstep mailinglists by NNTP
- comp.lang.objective-c* : The Objective-C language and environment.
- gnu.gnustep.announce* : Info and announcements (Moderated)
- gnu.gnustep.bug* : Bug reports for gnustep.
- gnu.gnustep.discuss* : Discussion of gnustep.
- gnu.gnustep.help* : Requests for help with gnustep.
