Hello,

on  StackOverflow I see messages of newcomers who
don't even know the existence of an official mailing list.
I think we should fix this. But how ?
The information is already present at the bottom of the welcome page of the 
inline help.

It is obviously not enough.

I suggest the "Documentation and help" section should be at the top
and should contain the link to the list
(it is in the "Other ressources" section).

I agree.

With Octave, main links are displayed in the ASCII banner at the startup.

With Scilab, all things are in the "?" main menu. This menu could be improved:

 * first, it could be renamed more explicitly, for instance "Info"
   instead of "?"

 * second: it should be updated:
     o AFAIK, "Scilab enterprises" no longer exists. BTW, the main
       thing is to point to the "Scilab portal".
     o All goodies that are not already reachable through the toolbar
       are hidden in the "Links" submenu. BTW, the "Mailing lists" URL
       is outdated and leads to a 404 error.
     o A "Subscribe to Help lists" item could be added in the main list
       (not as a Link). It could display the "How to subscribe"
       information in the console.

Regards
Samuel
