info about regional mailing lists

Hi there,

there is no information about how to subscribe to regional mailing lists,
for example 'pgsql-ru-general'. Any chance it will be added to
http://www.postgresql.org/community/lists/subscribe

     Regards,
         Oleg

The problem is that not all of the regional lists are hosted through
postgresql.org, so for some it would be tricky to make this work.  I think
that's why we link to an archive patch for each of those lists, which then
have instructions for how to subscribe to each list.

We could add the postgresql.org lists to the subscribe page though that might
be more disruptive since some lists would be missing. If we did I could
foresee the user groups wanting to be added as well, though that starts to
feel like being more clutter than helpful, especially since all of these
lists would not be helpful to most people. Anyone else feel strongly that we
need to add them?

I see your arguments, but what's wrong to add those mailing lists which are
hosted through  postgresql.org and/or add link to page with information
about other lists.

Just  specify directly that this page is for postgresql.org lists and
for other lists see separate page.
