     <p>Tor runs <a

-    mailing lists</a>. New users will be most interested in the

+    mailing lists</a>. New users will be most interested in:</p>
+    <ul>
+    <li><a
+    href="https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-announce/">tor-announce</a>
+    is a low volume list for announcements of new releases and critical

+    an <a href="http://rss.gmane.org/gmane.network.tor.announce">RSS
+    feed</a>.</li>
+    <li><a
+    href="https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk/">tor-talk</a>
+    is where a lot of discussion happens, and is where we send

+    <li><a
+    href="https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays/">tor-relays
+    list</a> is for discussions about running, configuring, and handling
