[kaffe] [Fwd: kaffe added to Gmane]

[Jim Pick]

This is sort of cool.  If anybody wants to read the mailing list
via NNTP, you can do it now.

If we end up getting spam via this, I'll request that the gateway
be made unidirectional.  However, this project is being run by
Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen and friends, so I think it's OK.  (I'm
a former Gnus user.  :-)

Cheers,

 - Jim

We have received a request for adding the kaffe@kaffe.org mailing list
to the Gmane mail-to-news gateway/archive. A subscription request
message has been sent. If this is contrary to your wishes, please send
a mail to admin@gmane.org saying so, and the list will be removed from
Gmane.

Gmane is a mail-to-news portal that never expires its messages.  It
therefore also functions as a mailing list archive.  It's a
bi-directional gateway, but Gmane verifies that its users' email
addresses are valid before passing the messages through the
news-to-mail gateway.  (Groups can also be made "read-only", which
means that Gmane won't forward any messages at all to the mailing
list.)

Gmane can encrypt addresses to make address harvesting difficult, and
heeds X-No-Archive and related headers.

If you wish to import older archives into Gmane, send a message to
the Gmane administrators -- just reply to this message.

The following parameters are set for this mailing list:

    * Newsgroup name: gmane.comp.java.kaffe.general
    * Mailing list address: kaffe@kaffe.org
    * The gateway is bi-directional    * Address encryption is off
    * Spam detection is on
    * The list is described as:
      "Main mailing list for the Kaffe Java VM."
    * News URL: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.kaffe.general
    * Web URL: http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.comp.java.kaffe.general

This newsgroup will be created when the first message from the
mailing list arrives.
