Could the text on http://xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86 be changed
to list the urls of the xfree86 archives instead of the main page of the
two archives?

The text should be changed from:

"Archives are available at http://www.mail-archive.com and
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com";

to

"Searchable archives are available
at http://www.mail-archive.com/xfree86%40xfree86.org/ and
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xfree86&r=1&w=2";

with both the links clickable, please.

I also the think they should be listed prominently on the support page
(http://xfree86.org/support) and on the front page.

The link "Public Mailing Lists" on http://www.xfree86.org/ goes to the
mailman interface, leaving the newbie to wonder which of the five lists to
subscribe to.  They are also going to subscribe /before/ they check what
is already in the archives.

I think the links to the archives (+ the hint that they are searchable)
should be seen /before/ any information whatsoever on how to subscribe to
the lists or send mail to them.  Only after making the newbie think "hmm,
maybe I can find an answer here *click*" should they see how they can get
on the mailing list themselves.
