[mythtv-users] Suggestion for mailing list archive listing on web site

[Bill Chmura]

Hello all,

Since alot of people seem to miss the list archives, maybe it would be 
possible to make the archives more obvious.  I know its in there, but maybe 
this would catch more peoples eyes:

---------This is it now ----------------

MythTV-dev -- general discussion about development. Go here for a searchable 
mailing list archive. 

MythTV-users -- a place for users to discuss hardware setups, configuration, 
etc. Less on-topic than mythtv-dev (hopefully). Here is the mailing list 
archive for MythTV-users. 

MythTV-commits -- a read-only list for tracking CVS changes. 

---------- Maybe like this -------------

MythTV-dev -- general discussion about development. Go here for a searchable

Mailing list archives - Here is the mailing list archive for MythTV-users and 
MythTV-Dev. 

MythTV-commits -- a read-only list for tracking CVS changes. 

-------------------------------------------

Just an idea...  It seems like a lot of people spend time asking for it, and 
more time is spent coming up with snappy retorts.  Maybe adding an extra line 
to the site would cut down on it a little bit...  Since they were right there 
when they found the mailing list info and did not notice the archives, maybe 
changing it could help a little. 

Peace,

Bill
