Re: mail2.html -> mail.html
jakarta came round to having two pages for mail subscriptions after having years of regular problems with people joining the lists who had no idea about how to behave. the pages are user unfriendly but the old solution (ie publically and vocally humiliating posters on list) was worse (since it discouraged many lurkers with valuable opinions from speaking out for fear of being shot down in flames). i don't think that reading through a page of instructions is too much to ask for the benefit of the community not having to waste time and energy shooting down ignorant and disruptive posters. one proof that this policy works is that the last occasion that i can remember this being necessary was with somebody who'd subscribed via news. i would support a move of the other information on the deeper page (about the archives, for example) to a better location. i'd also be happy to support some alternative system (maybe using ezmlm) which was equally effective. i'd also support any sub-project who was happy about being listed on the front page being moved there. - robert On Tuesday, July 22, 2003, at 10:50 AM, Tetsuya Kitahata wrote: On Sun, 20 Jul 2003 20:02:57 +0100 "Danny Angus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I was dead against this when Tetsuya first raised the issue, I'm still dead against this, and likely to remain so until someone can explain to me why it would be better than what we currently have. 1.

RE: mail2.html -> mail.html
Hi Tetsuya, What is wrong with the pages as they are? There are thousands of people who have subscribed to the lists using the current method, and luckily there are not too many misdirected posts. Furthermore, a search for "jakarta mailing lists" http://www.google.com/search?q=jakarta+mail+archives&sourceid=mozilla-search &start=0&start=0 takes you straight to mail2.html. I still fail to see the problem -- it is good to make future posters go through a little extra effort. There are many important issues to tackle, please don't waste your time with this one. (Where is Jon Stevens when you need him?) Un saludo, Alex.

For example, if Jakarta-Poi's website have the direct link (http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#poi) in its' left side navigator, people will not wander the mail.html/mail2.html and be satisfied surely. Next, in this situation, I thought the current mail.html is meaningless, so why not conjoin mail.html and mail2.html? (Also, please see the sample below) For me, subscribe/unsubscribe is very easy, because I remember *-subscribe*/*-unsubscribe* suffix :D However, there are many people who can not find the way to unsubscribe each mailing lists :D, even though each mails has *appripriate* mail trailer (signature).

The nice thing about the current approach is that you can't get to see the links w/o having to have read enough of the first page to understand that you have to click through to the next page. Otherwise, people will just skip down until they find what they want and then have missed what is some good prelim info for our community.

Yes, I think so. However, there are many many mailing list in mail2.html and we did not point out the *appropriate* mail list in the past, it seems. (We often use this phrase, "subscribe to the *appropriate* lists" ... not user-friendly phrase...) Promoting to point out directly the *appropriate* mail lists (e.g. http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#tomcat or http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html#tomcat) might be better than now, I think. If httpd, ant or whatever in apache.org had failed to let people read the MailList *guideline*, I am willing to withdraw my proposal.
