Hello all. I love using GMANE ( http://www.gmane.org ) to access mailing
lists because:
1. one stop mailing-list shopping -- a consistent experience
2. NNTP access
3. easiest path to posting a question to a list that you're not a member of,
examining the responses, and then leaving.
IMHO, this is actually a reason to *not* provide a link to Gmane on our
site, since it's anti-community, and community is what we are about.
One other point to bear in mind is that Gmane isn't the only service of
its kind. I believe Roomity aspires to be another Gmane, and there are
probably others. I'm not sure we want to be keeping pointers to all of
them, and we shouldn't be picking favourites. ;-)

4. emails for lists don't go into my mailbox; I don't want them there (I
prefer NNTP)
I think a mention of GMANE on Jakarta would be helpful for the community.
This page could use it:
http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html (by the "Archives" section)
And perhaps elsewhere; I don't know.
Thanks for listening.
