The mailing list is funneled to http://gmane.org . This is a service which
offers a host of mailing lists via the UUCP. This is the protocol of the 
usenet of old. Consequently, you can read the mailing list withe a usenet 
newsreader like knode. Posting is possible, too, as I do right now.

As a side effect gmane keeps a search-able archive of all posts of all 
participating mailing lists. The geda portion is here:
	http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.cad.geda.user

gmane is mentioned in the geda wiki
	http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:mailinglists#search_the_mailing_lists

However, the wiki indicates incorrectly, that the archive ends in 2011.
Yes, there was a hiatus when geda infra structure underwent certain changes. 
But I had gmane add geda-user to their archive again in spring 2012.
 
The next line in the wiki mentions geda.seul.org. This seems to be almost 
completely obsolete now. This website formerly hosted the core of geda. Now
it barely mentions the project as the last in a list of open source EDA
projects:
	http://www.seul.org/
  links to
	http://www.gpleda.org/

I don't understand the background of this although I was already on the 
list for a few years and a regular contributor to the wiki when the 
changes happened. The changes were disruptive but opaque to ordinary 
users. IMHO, the repercussions can still be felt.
