Hi all!
I want to strongly encourage you to check out the new look for the Events
list info page: http://lists.openhatch.org/mailman/listinfo/events/
Karen and I just put together a quick hack that makes it look actually
reasonably nice! It's all Twitter bootstrap'd up, but moreover we've done
the following:
* Emphasize how to send mail to the list.
* Emphasize how to subscribe.
* Add a photo.
* Explain what sorts of things happen on the list.
* Remove unnecessary options.
* Clarify "Unsubscribe" vs. "Login".
* Indicate how Mailman passwords work.
Feedback extremely welcome!
In particular, if there are ways that it does or doesn't convey the
purpose of this list as you've experienced it, now is a great time to say
so.

(Tech note: It's actually a static HTML file that is Apache Alias'd to
load when you visit http://lists.openhatch.org/mailman/listinfo/events
(i.e., it's not integrated into the Mailman templating system). It's good
enough to use for now, and one day we might get around to making it
actually integrate with the templates and be useful for more than just
this one list. And then it can be useful for more than just OpenHatch!)
