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 -- : Eric S Fraga via Emacs 28.0.50, Org release_9.4-143-g9a1549
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 216 bytes --] Hi Eric, Good point, we are indeed missing a line that says "You can mail the list directly at mailto:emacs-orgmode@gnu.org." Here's a patch. I assume it is probably ok to put the raw email on the site.
