I just received (as [email protected] 
<mailto:[email protected]>) a request to join 
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. I wondered why 
the person had not figured out how to subscribe, so I checked:

1. The instructions on the page 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/quickstep-dev/ 
<http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/quickstep-dev/> are correct; however

2. When I google “subscribe apache quickstep” that page doesn’t come up in the 
top 10, and

3. That page is not listed as the official archive at 
http://quickstep.apache.org/ <http://quickstep.apache.org/>. Rather, that page 
lists https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ 
<https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/> as the 
archive, but the official apache archives 
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-quickstep-dev/ 
<https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-quickstep-dev/> or 
https://lists.apache.org/[email protected] 
<https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]> would probably 
be better.

4. The instructions on http://quickstep.apache.org/ 
<http://quickstep.apache.org/>, "Send a blank email to [ 
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ]  for subscribe 
instructions” are wrong.

Can someone make a pass over the doc and make it easier to join the community?

Julian
