On the Forums page, the wine-users@winehq.com list should probably be the first thing on the page.
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.)
