| | One of OpenWrt's (and former LEDE's) goals is that all project-related communication should be done on public channels that are archived and easily browsable. |
| | However, specific problems and tasks may be resolved using direct means of communication. |
| | Please look through these choices to find an appropriate means to reach us. |
