I might be repeating the obvious, but yahoogroups archiving is abysmall. I repeatedly find myself trying to locate a post that I remember was made just a few months ago. Usually I know the approximate date, have a few good keywords to use in a search, and still fail miserably to find the post that I am looking for.

Gmane is indexed by google. I do not know if something needs to be done for a new list to be indexed, or if it will 'just happen', but I often find answers to my questions by googling and finding the answer in a gmane-archived page.

I do not know about the moderation/administrative overhead that this might cause you, but from my humble reader perspective, being able to search the messages using google instead of yahoo's search would be most welcome.

As group administrator I have received a request that the kicad-user
group is added to the Gmane news/mail list/archive. Details of what
Gmane does can be found here http://gmane.org/

The advantages would seem to be wider exposure for kicad and archiving
of the group messages. The disadvantages would be that anyone could
post to the group from outside it.

Opinions?
