mailing list count

So then lets figure out how to make it more clear. :)

Right now on openid.net it has a "Mailing Lists" link which goes off to
mailman.  I'd be happy to change that to the wiki page
http://openid.net/wiki/index.php/Mailing_lists if we think that would be
more useful.  Can use it to add clarity around each list.

In my view:
 - general at openid.net (Things which don't fall into other openid.net
lists)
 - specs at openid.net (Questions/feedback/proposals/changes to the specs
on OpenID.net)
 - security at openid.net (Security and anti-phishing discussion around the
OpenID protocol(s)) 
 - user-experience at openid.net (Could most likely be part of general, I
made it since there was an interest in active discussion)
 - marketing at iwantmyopenid.com (Created for the bounty, though is
largely being used to talk about joint marketing efforts for OpenID)
 - dev at openidenabled.com (Dev list for people with questions about using
Yadis/OpenID code from JanRain, IMHO should get moved over to
dev at incubator)
 - users at incubator (Created for every project, not being used right now)
 - dev at incubator (Discussion around everything about the code in the
Heraldry project)
 - private at incubator (Rarely used, only PPMC is subscribed)
 - yadis at danga (defunct)

So I think they are pretty clear with the exception of user-experience
not having a lot of traffic.

Anyone object to changing the link to the wiki page and filling it out
with more information about each list?

for those who haven't been keeping score, we now have
* general at openid
* specs at openid
* security at openid
* user-experience at openid
* marketing at iwantmyopenid
* dev at openidenabled
* users at incubator
* dev at incubator
* private at incubator
and maybe still something @yadis?  So it's little surprise today I
received a message that started out by saying:

        "First, apologies for writing to you directly. I should probably
        post this to some public place but with the plethora of mailing
        lists I wasn't sure which one to use."
