       <p>
         You can get help on our mailing list <a href="https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnunet">help-gnunet</a>. <br>If you generally want to be informed about recent updates and happenings, get in touch over our <a href="https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnunet">info mailing list</a>.<br/>
