    <h2>Web interface for subscription, archives, ...</h2>
    <p>You can use our <a href="https://mailman.videolan.org/">Mailing-lists management</a> to:</p>
    <ul class="bullets">
        <li>subscribe,</li>
        <li>unsubscribe,</li>
        <li>see online archives,</li>
        <li>view the list of mailing-lists.</li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Nota Bene</h2>
    <p>
        All the mailing-lists are in "closed-post" mode, which mean
        that messages from people who are not subscribed to the list
        need to go through a moderation process, which can take many
        hours or days, but is a necessary evil to avoid spam.
        The exception is the <code><b>videolan-announce</b></code> list,
        which is fully moderated.
    </p>

    <h2>Nota Bene 2</h2>
    <p>
        All the mailing-lists are in <strong>PUBLICLY archived</strong>
        which mean that your messages <strong>WILL be PUBLIC</strong>
        and mirrored in a way that <strong>we CANNOT remove</strong> the posts.
