Here's the story with gmane. Currently there are 2 ways to post: either using the web fora, or via mailman. Registration is required either way. This was done to cut down on spam. So when we started getting notices from gmane about archiving opensolaris lists, I asked them to make the lists read-only. If we enable posting via netnews, I think that posts will be rejected by opensolaris.org unless you're registered with mailman. I thought this might cause too much confusion for people who come to OpenSolaris through gmane. I could be wrong on that, but I'd like to see some suggestions for how to handle this issue. I agree that the traffic on the opensolaris lists is hard to keep up with. (I have over 1700 unread messages, plus several hundred more that I've glanced at and would like to take a second look at. gnus is my friend.) A lot of the traffic is in opensolaris-discuss. Would it make sense to try to move some of the traffic to topic-specific lists? mike _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
