Hello Clytie,
FYI: this is the mailing list page as it stands today: do you think it
could be a good base to start with?

Best,

We've been discussing mailing-lists on [EMAIL PROTECTED], the fact that
there are so many of them, and people can't or don't find them to
communicate with each other.
I still think a central mailing-list page, reached from the front page,
is a good idea. It doesn't have to list all mailing lists. It can list
the main lists for each section (we can have a Misc section for lists
their members don't think fit anywhere), with a tooltip for each list to
explain its function and save webpage-space. At the end of each short
group of mailing lists for each major project or category, would be a
"More lists..." link. This would take you to a separate page listing
_all_ mailing lists for that main project or category, and/or listing
the separate mailing-lists pages involved.
I envisage something like a Site Map, possibly with an
easily-recognizable icon for each main project/category. Each main part
has several child items, then the "More lists..." link.
It would give the user an overview of the OOo lists, which currently we
don't have. It constructs a viable hierarchy of information.
I also propose each main project/category choose one list to be their
root information target, and labelled as such on these pages (small
icon, different colour), identifying it as the list for that group to
which you should send new information.
It's very difficult for someone outside your project to know how you
handle your information flow. Designating a root information-target list
shows people where to send that first email saying:
"We're looking at/starting X. These are our aims. These people are
involved. Please see our main wiki page/webpage. [link] We invite you to
contribute by..."
I would like to work on this. What do you think?
