gmane makes you verify the email from your own email box, so a bit of a pain.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).

So instead, they start mailing dev's directly, which we don't want. One solution is gmane.org. Gmane turns our mailing lists into newsgroups, so if they direct their e-mail client to this newsgroup url nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.drools.user they can ask a question without littering their mailbox. I propose we add another column to this page http://www.jboss.org/drools/lists.html with the title Newsgroup (doesn't litter mailbox) Which has a link to these url's: nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.drools.user nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.drools.devel -- With kind regards, Geoffrey De Smet _______________________________________________ rules-dev mailing list rules-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/rules-dev
