How to point users to the Apache NetBeans mailing lists?
Hello,
I just wanted to point a new user to the new Apache mailing lists for
NetBeans and it seems a bit complicate to me.
http://netbeans.apache.org/ has some Facebook links but nothing about the
mailing list. The "Community" link leads to the existing
https://netbeans.org/community/index.html which has the old mailing lists.
The incubator page http://incubator.apache.org/projects/netbeans.html does
have the mailing lists but there's no 'Subscribe' button or any other
explanation for new users.
BTW: The incubator page http://incubator.apache.org/projects/netbeans.html
should be updated with the new http://netbeans.apache.org/ website.

Ok, but the wiki page is too deep. It has to be referenced from the main site(s) too.

Hi Emilian,
I think this is the link that we should promote everywhere:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/How+to+Participate
E.g., people shouldn't only join the mailing list, but also add their info
to the Who's Who page.
That link above, I propose, should be what we communicate to the world.
