I think the mail archive should be linked to from the mailing lists
page. At least that is the first place I would look for to find
archives. By the way, why do the mailing lists point to the dbsdlog?

I would be even more radical. Have a 'Community' section that
includes the mailing list information, the mailing list archives,
USENET news server interface, and Wiki.

When you say "USENET interface", do you mean a description of how to
connect to the news server (which can be placed with the mailing list
info), or an actual www-to-nntp gateway?
