Обсуждение: Surfacing mailing lists on the new site
(sent previously with wrong email address; oops) I was chatting with someone on IRC about mailing lists, and it wasn't really obvious to them how to find out what mailinglists there are. Community -> Quick Links -> Mailing Lists gets to /list/ which does provide a list of mailing lists, but it's as links tothe archives and it's "below the fold". The more obvious link from the front page - "maiing lists" in the mailing lists tile - goes to lists.postgresql.org, whichisn't the best entry point, *especially* if you're not already logged in to a community account. Making the first link in the mailing lists tile go to /list/ would be an easy improvement, I think. A page that has the listnames and descriptions, along with "archive" and "subscribe" buttons would be better still (that page may exist, butif it does I can't find it). Cheers, Steve
Steve,

I actually have a patch in that should be submitted later today this very issue.
Thanks very much for the feedback! :)
