The mailing lists link on the front page of webmproject.org works fine for me, 
and the discussion link on the code.google.com page is working fine as well. 
Which link on which page is broken?

Thanks!

This link? 
https://groups.google.com/a/webmproject.org

Or am I just missing it?

The title of the above link is Discussion Groups, and the page linked is in 
fact a listing of the WebM discussion groups. The "Application Developers", 
"Codec Developers", and "WebM Discussion" links on the page all work-- they 
also point at the proper groups.

Ah-- I just tried it with a browser that isn't not logged in to my account. I 
guess project members see something different when they go to that page...

Thanks for being persistent!

I'm actually surprised to get feedback that this one got through. =) Usually 
reported stuff misses into void.

The Groups UI is opinionated and leaves a lot to be desired.  It _does_ vary 
the presentation based on session state, but I wouldn't call the behavior 
"broken," and one can certainly get to where one's going in any case.  Thanks 
for the report.  Closing.  LQ

Ok. I was too optimistic perhaps. Attaching a screenshot that shows that Groups 
UI is definitely broken and there is no way to get to where one's going.

Again, thanks for the report.  The prominent "Browse all groups ..." link gives 
a list of webmproject.org mailing lists (groups).  However, I agree that the 
default Groups sidebar link for "Discussion Groups" is suboptimal, so it now 
targets https://groups.google.com/a/webmproject.org .  LQ

Lol. =) It did target https://groups.google.com/a/webmproject.org before. 
Perhaps you wanted to change that to 
https://groups.google.com/a/webmproject.org/group/webm-discuss ?

I finally got that "Browse all groups ..." link. I thought it gives access to 
standard Groups browser, but it appears that the listing is limited to 
specified list only. Probably you wanted 
https://groups.google.com/a/webmproject.org/groups/dir link in side bar.

Yes, subsequently switched to that target, as it's incrementally better for the 
anonymous web user.  LQ
