I haven't been involved in any discussions around changing the front page, but I'm really happy to see the direction that it's likely to go. I'll toss an idea in: Cleaning up the "Mailing lists" link under "Documentation". It's two clicks away from a list of the available lists, and three away from a subscribe/unsubcribe page. It also seems a bit confusing ... multiple ways to get to archives (and what appears to be two different archiving systems). A visitor sees non-English language-specific lists before they see the topic-specific lists. The first link seems to be somewhat superfluous ... perhaps linking directly to /doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-MAIL and migrating some of the information at the current link might help. -T -- You cannot manipulate a marionette with only one string. - The Zensunni Whip
