[rules-dev] drools mailing list webpage: mention gmane newsgroups too

[Michael Neale]

I agree - do we need the nntp? those who use news readers still (!)
would know what to do - could we just link to the http interface if we
don't already.

In terms of finding answers - google indexes the mailing lists just
fine, I often find answers myself that way ! so the read only aspect
is ok.

What is the experience like if people want to post to the lists from
gmane etc? Does it actually work? I have never tried it myself, always
been a mailing list fan myself (but that is changing, its just too
much to keep up with).
