SliTaz Forum Hello and welcome!
Maille is the new home of the SliTaz community: a place where users help each other, share their setups and talk about what they want from SliTaz. It replaces the old forum and is now the default place to ask a question, report something odd or just say hello.
Maille means a stitch, a mesh: users knitted together. It is built the SliTaz way: one small program, no JavaScript, fast on an old laptop, a phone or even in a text browser like Links.
Joining

Reading is open to everyone, no account needed. To write, create an account from the "Sign up" link:
- An account is just a nickname and a password. A mail address is optional, private and never shown.
- At sign-up you get a recovery code, shown only once. Keep it somewhere safe: it is the way to set a new password if you forget yours.
- For now, sign-up works with an invitation code. Ask for one on the SliTaz Signal group (see https://www.slitaz.org/en/support.php), by private message on the SliTaz Facebook page, or by mail to slitazdevs@protonmail.com. We answer quickly, and an invited account is approved right away.
- Later, sign-up will also be possible by answering a simple SliTaz question.
Without an invitation, the first posts of a new account wait for a moderator before they show up, and links stay plain text until then. This is only there to keep spam bots out, nothing personal.
What you can do
---------------
- Start a thread with 1 to 3 tags: a language (en, fr, pt, es, de, it, ru) and topics such as install, hardware, network, desktop, packages, development, iso or screenshots. Write in the language you are most comfortable with and tag it.
- Reply, and follow the threads you started or answered: the "new replies" counter in the header tells you when someone wrote there.
- Add up to 4 images (PNG, JPEG, WebP) to a post. Perfect for the screenshots tag: show us your SliTaz desktop!
- Edit your own post for 24 hours after posting.
- Mark the reply that solved your problem with "This solved it". The thread gets a "Solved" badge, so the next person with the same problem finds the answer.
- Browse the unanswered threads from the home page and help someone out.
- Delete your account from your account page whenever you want.
Posts are plain text: line breaks are kept and links are clickable, no Markdown or BBCode needed. For long logs or config files, use https://paste.slitaz.org/ and post the link.
A forum that grows with you
---------------------------
Maille is young and deliberately simple. It will evolve with your needs, not the other way around. Several things are already on the list: search, hardware compatibility pages and a chat room. Its name is not settled yet: the Lounge, or maybe the Yarn (yarn is knitting thread, and to yarn means to chat and tell stories). Nothing is fixed, tell us what you prefer. The order and the rest are up to you.
We will soon post threads dedicated to ideas and feature requests. Please feel free to propose anything, ask for anything, or tell us what bugs you: no idea is too small or too silly. Every SliTaz tool started as someone's idea.
Be kind
-------
Be patient with newcomers, we all started somewhere. Stay on topic, no spam, no ads. Moderators may hide posts that break these simple rules.
Welcome aboard, and happy hacking!
