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

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).
