IMHO when they go to a mailing-list page, they are already at the wrong place. Those first-time visitors should be guided through the site one step earlier. Through "contributing.ooo" or through the "new user" pages/the native-lang projects, the support-pages or by the enhanced product/project pages. - Depending on what they have in mind. IMHO the mailing-list page should only list those lists that don't quite fit in any of the above categories. If the user cannot find a list when he has a support-question, the support-pages need an update. When he cannot find a list in the native-language, then those pages should be enhanced. > [...] > In an hierarchy of information, when spreading information, you are > the information source, and where you want it to arrive is the > information target.
