Maybe, as another user on xfree-devel pointed out, it would be good to
make the usage of all the lists more visible on the web page, and have a
quick explanation on what to ask where. Maybe this already exist, but
many users don't know about this, but then maybe they come to here
trough another channel than the xfree86 web page.

BTW, i though xfree-forum was subscriber only, if so, then an
explanation of the usage of the 3 or so different lists could be send
with the welcome mail. Not that everyone would read it though.

Another idea i have seen around is to add all the xfree86 lists to the
footer, together with a quick explanation of what each list is for :

xfree@XFree86.org : general user level list
xfree-devel@XFree86.org : xfree developpment list (for xfree coding, not using X)
Forum@XFree86.org : discussion about the future of xfree86.

Or something such.
