The gdal-dev@remotesensing.org mailing list can be used for discussion of development and user issues related to GDAL and related technologies. Subscriptions can be done, and archives reviewed on the web. The older email archive from YahooGroups can also be browsed on the web.
API Documentation exists for GDAL, and was created using Doxygen.
GDAL bugs can be reported, and can be listed using BugZilla.
Binaries of the GDAL utility programs and the shared libraries are available as part of OpenEV_FW releases on Windows and Linux. GDAL is also a component of the FreeGIS CDs available from www.freegis.org in RPM format. Alessandro Amici provides unofficial Debian packages.
