As you all know, this mailing list moved to a different domain last winter.
Unfortunately, the move cut off the connection to gmane. This is a project,
that translates mailinglists to usenet format and back. This means, the
mailinglist can be read with a newsreader rather than with a regular email
reader. One benefit is, that gmane-groups can be read anywhere, not just at
places where I have access to my email box. Newsreaders tend to be better
geared toward discussions with many participants.
For details, see http://gmane.org and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmane
In addition, gmane serves as an archive. There is a useful archive search
engine at the gmane site.
In January, I noticed the gmane project of the change. Nothing happended.
Maybe, I used the wrong web form. So I tried again a few weeks ago. Today,
I checked gmane.comp.cad.geda-user aagain and was pleasantly to see some
new posts by Oliver Schiagl. A check at gmane.org revealed, that the domain
of the gmane-group has indeed been changed to delorie.com.
However, not all messages seem to have made it to gmane. Wild guess: The
gmane project needs to be added to the list of recipients of the mailing
list. I asked the gmane admins to resubscribe to the list. DJ, can you
accept subscription of geda-user AT gmane DOT org when it hits the queue?

BTW, this text is a test, whether postings from gmane do successfully get
forwarded to the list.
