Can someone actually explain what GMane is!

Is it a Newsgroup, some private forum, a Yahoo! group ?

Do we change anything here or do we just continue reading / responding
to message as they arise like now?

Later:  Having Googled for GMane I now see that it is a News group
thing. There does seem to be one major obstacle in that it requires
you to set your newsreader to news.gmane.org. As my newsreader only
allows one feed, it's going to be very clumsy to have to keep changing
news feeds every time I want to look at some messages!
