[Mailing lists] User mailing list promotion
May I suggest that the Users mailing list be made the first list on
the mailing list page [1] ?
Developers are likely to be more used to how to find the appropriate
mailing list, the casual user is less likely to read the full page in
order to find the correct list.
Also, the users list is not mentioned on the status page [2].

Thanks!
It was really needed, especially to promote the users list.

Yes, found and corrected. Now I understand also the intention of the red
displayed </tr> tags right before the missing </td> tags (yes, two).

Of course. ;-)
Again, thanks for your quick help.

Sifting thru the latest build log produces the following:
[anakia] Input: projects/openofficeorg.xml
[anakia]
[anakia] Error: The element type "td" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</td>".
[anakia] Line: 127 Column: 11
[anakia]
That's about all the help you get.
Isn't anakia fun?

Thanks for the quick help. A TR tag was missing. However, after
comitting the staging is still shown with 404 error.
Hm, still more error? How can I find them myself?

You have a bug in your xml: missing </td> or somesuch.
Sadly anakia doesn't return a non-zero exit status
when a page fails to build, which causes the CMS to
go ahead and delete it.

I've put users@, marketing@ and announce@ first, then the techical lists.

I've tried it on the projects webpage, too. But when checking the
staging I just get a 404 error:
http://incubator.staging.apache.org/projects/openofficeorg.html
However, the build was successful:

I've not yet published the changes. Hm, something wrong here?

Done (waiting for it to stage before I publish it)
http://www.openoffice.org/contact_us.html
This one however already links to the support page, not sure it should
be changed? So did not.

Users are unlikely to stumble on the mailing list page, or check the
status page. So this is probably not the main source of misdirected
posts.
More likely is the "Contact Us" page (which does not even mention the
users list) : http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/contact.html
Or the openoffice.org version, which explicitly suggests contacting
the developers list: http://www.openoffice.org/contact_us.html
