Maybe split this into two emails, and space them a week apart? So one
email that is the intro, gives the background on the Incubation, the

Then follow a week later with "As we previously mentioned in our note
last week.... We're starting the list migration now. To join the new
list you will need to...."
Would that be better?
Nice idea. I received one of the notices sent out today (to
[marketing-ooocon-discuss], which is actually more a project-related
list than a marketing-related one, since it's meant for the
OpenOffice.org Conference; but it doesn't matter) and indeed it is quite
long, so if there is no hurry I'd support the two-steps approach.
The link to
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/OpenOffice.org+Mig
ration+Status
was split in two lines (by the mailing list management program, I
assume) in the message I received; a short URL will probably work better.
As I said, I'll translate the notice into Italian and take care of
migrating the Italian lists (all 12 of them, not only the 4 that are in
the top 100). I added my name to the wiki page. I'm happy with the plan
to move N-L lists as the last step, since we need a communication
channel open all the time, so I wouldn't touch the lists until the forum
migration is complete.

Andrea.
