I would think we could take a couple proactive steps without adversely affecting anyone: 1. In Elliot Lee's monthly (or however regular) list of Red Hat/Fedora lists, the first listing appearing at the top, set off in some manner of highlight, should be fedora-list. That would emphasize the importance of that list for users, I think without disparaging any of the other lists. (I could also see including fedora-devel-list with fedora-list; that would probably be a judgment call for the Fedora leadership. I suspect fedora-list sees more traffic, and undoubtedly is where we are continually redirecting folks.) 2. The archive/info page for fedora-docs-list should include a highlighted area that lets people know how fedora-docs-list differs from fedora-list, and helpfully provides a link to fedora-list. I'm copying Elliot on this message in case he's interested in at least suggestion #1. -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE
