Hi :) I think GMane is a way of viewing the posts to this mailing list as though it was a traditional (fairly trad anyway) News Group. Similar to the idea of viewing the posts through Nabble to make it look like a forum.
Quite a clever system imo, keeps 2-3 quite divergent different ways of handling these posts in 1 system so that whoever posts gets seen by people using the other methods.
