I've gone ahead and updated https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/cabal-l to reflect this. You'll notice that some of the language has been simplified, and the password fields have been removed because this list has public archives and the subscriber list is only viewable by list admins, so there's no real need to know your password for this list. Unfortunately this still reverts to old design for other languages but I'm working on seeing if there's a way to fix that.
Isarra (and anyone else) can you see any issues with the newer design in terms of usability? As a reminder the source is at https://github.com/quimgil/mailman-templates.

Feedback, please.
I would love to see this design or something similar become the default for Wikimedia's mailing lists. Compared to the current default,[1] I
find
the new design vastly more friendly and engaging.
Can't be the default because it's English only, isn't it. A workaround could be to remove custom linguistic content (for instance make "About Wikimedia Foundation" just "Wikimedia" and point it to some translatable page on Meta), but I've no idea how localisation of all this works.
Well, this *recommended* template could substitute the current default
which
doesn't offer localized links either. An improvement is an improvement,
and
I think the improvement for users is huge.
Then it is up to the admins of each list to implement this template or
not,
to take it as is or with modifications e.g. links to Spanish content for your Spanish speaking list. It's just a piece of HTML to be pasted in a
web
form.
Just give me a day or so to implement feedback and clean the code, and
then
the template will be ready to be applied by list admins with a simple copy&paste, with optional customization.
