My proposed wording is:Please subscribe to the ros-users mailing list to stay on top of the latest ROS news, and feel free to have a look at the ros-users archive.
However, please keep in mind that the mailing list should not be used as the first step in requesting for help, but rather ROS Answers, as described below (and in this related question).
ROS Answers should be used as the first step in requesting help, as described below (and in this related question).
To stay on top of the latest ROS news, subscribe to the ros-users mailing list, and feel free to have a look at the ros-users archive.
Here we present the right way to do things first, followed by the information about the mailing list.
If you're just skimming the page as it is now, the first thing you see is the mailing list, and you have to read the 2nd paragraph to find out that's the wrong thing to do.
Also, in the FAQ, we could change:
Try running roswtf and see if it can diagnose your issue
Search the archives of the appropriate mailing list or post a question.
to:
Try running roswtf and see if it can diagnose your issue
By removing the ros-users ml from the help/support section I suppose. Cite it as a dev/maintenance focused ml rather.
