[SAC] mail./lists.osgeo.org migration

[Eli Adam]

Just an observation and a few questions.

I used to go to addresses like:
http://www.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/announce
which gives an error.

Now I have to go to:
http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/announce
which works fine (and previously worked maybe?  I don't know).

Should both urls work?  Is one more correct?  Which is best to publish
to advertise signing up for a list?

Looks like the mailing lists are working great (I'm getting emails on
these lists, nabble archives are getting updated).

Eli
