The current location looked ok to me.

Yes, we could tweak this. What about the following order:
wine-announce
wine-users
wine-devel
wine-patches
wine-cvs
wine-releases
wine-license
wine-bugs
wine-tests-results

Where did you find the broken link? I found one like you describe in a
Wine Weekly News 2000/01/17, but the forum page looks ok:
<a href="news:comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine";>comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine</a>

The newsgroup is not indexed at Gmane, only the mailing lists are. I can
add a link like so:
[(Un-)Subscribe] [Archive] [Gmane] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
