The old list was gatewayed to gmane, which allowed me to read the list with a newsreader. Is the same planned for the new list? Or am I gonna have to figure out how to use Cyrus IMAPD with NNTP?
Google Groups should have NNTP access, after all, they do index USEnet groups, I don’t know if this is open for users though.
Google Groups does not provide NNTP access.
(Worse, because I accepted a GMail invite, I can no longer even post here using my real e-mail address - Google automatically migrates your account to GMail. Grr.)
Was I the only one who cared about the NNTP interface?

I ever think Google Groups have NNTP access... if it doesn't Google Groups would be Google Lists... :s

Could the list admins please fix the gateway to gmane? It was a great service so I guess it should be possible again? nntp is really a good thing for mailing lists: - you don't get lots of mails in your mailbox - you only download and read what you like - mails are automatically deleted after a while - gmane keeps an archive - gmane has rss and weblog interfaces
Please?

Cute, but wrong. Please check the Google FAQ - there IS NO NNTP access for Google Groups.
I really hope someone plans to reinstate the gmane gateway.
It seems to be fixed now, messages are showing up on gmane again! Thanks a lot list admins, it's nice to know that you listen to us!

Half fixed, anyway. Two problems:
1. (Minor) The mailing list prepends [Rails] to each subject line, and the gateway preserves that. But at least one newsreader, 40tude Dialog, doesn't know enough to thread "[Rails] blah" with "[Rails] Re: blah". It'd be nice if the gmane gateway could remove the subject prefix for us newsreaders.
2. (Major) Posting doesn't work, as I just found when I tried to post #1...
Thanks to the list admins, but hopefully these two additional problems can be solved!
