Third Party Mailing Lists
iNUG, the oldest, most active and probably most valuable 4D Mailing List.
The 4th Dimension Internet Group (4D iNUG) provides an internet forum for users and developers of 4th Dimension to exchange ideas and techniques, discuss problems and solutions, swap code fragments, announce 4D jobs and products, and basically help each other out.
The 4D iNUG sponsors three mailing lists. The first two lists are also referred to collectively as the 4D Mailing List.
- The 4D Tech Mailing List is the primary vehicle for communication and support among 4D netizens worldwide. This list is specifically for technical discussions about the 4D environment, as well as announcements for 4D related jobs, products, services, and events.
- The 4D Biz Mailing List covers mostly non-technical discussions of interest to the 4D developer community such as licensing issues, running a business, the bidding process, documentation and copyrights. Technical discussions that are off-topic or have become off-topic on the 4D Tech Mailing List can also be further discussed on this list.
- The 4D Pub Mailing List is an informal forum for 4D netizens to hang out with each other, chit chat, plan / announce IRL (in real life) get-togethers with fellow 4D netizens, and just have fun!
