The IBDI List - InterBase Developer Initiative forum for discussing issues of open source, documentation, impact on current and future development and support, etc. Files upload/download area is occasionally active. It's also a list where someone is likely to call for help with jobs!
Support issues concerning the installation of IB 6.0 are OK; otherwise this is NOT a tech support list.
Moderated by fellow IBDI members. This is the developer community heartland and it's monitored by the InterBase team. Reasonable "flak" is acceptable but NO FLAMING.

The MERS List - Best source of voluntary InterBase support in the world! Got a problem? Take it to several hundred IB experts, including just about everybody who has ever been involved in IB's product life-cycle.
You'll often see announcements of great third-party IB tools here, too, usually free.
You are encouraged to take wider InterBase community concerns to the IBDI list or one of the specialized discussion lists. It keeps the "noise level" low, for the benefit of people who are really in trouble!
List also has a newsgroup option - check the news server news.mers.com as a gateway to this and other IB-related news servers.
