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

i.e. move 'users' up right after 'announce'. That's perfect.


The newsgroup link is currently wrong(!); it's currently
  news://comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine/


Where did you find the broken link?

Would you believe Mozilla 1.5 did it? Hard to believe, but true. Sounds like a bug in mozilla!


And we should probably link to the newsgroups [gatewayed mailing lists] at gmane.org, too.

Oddly, the 's' needs to be dropped from the gmane version; it's wine.user, not wine.users. I would suggest also linking to the nntp interface at gmane, which is the whole point of gmane. With those two changes:

Also, for wine-devel, I'd suggest adding a third archive,
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=wine-devel&r=1&w=2
The marc interface is like vi: some people will hate it, but it's very good for
searching.  Very, very good.

(BTW, there's another archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/wine-devel%40winehq.org/
but it doesn't offer any advantages over the ones you already have, I think.)
