Subject: new website: not easy to find how to ask for help

Message-ID: <87a6uookcl.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> (raw)
Dear all,
I love the new front page to the org website, especially the annotated
example!
Minor criticism however: it is very difficult (for a new user) to find
how to ask for help. The community tab doesn't tell the reader the
mailing list address and the manual says nothing at all about this. A
new user may not wish to join a mailing list that may look intimidating
and so will not follow the "subscribe to the list" link.
I wanted to point somebody to instructions on how to ask for help and
couldn't do so easily.
A suggestion: at minimum, add the mailing list address to the community
page so that a reader does not have to go to the subscribing page to
find that out; better yet, make it visible on the front page?
thank you,
eric
