Gmane for list?

Hi all,

I was wondering if I might subscribe this list to gmane.org, so I (and 
everyone else) might view and search in with a newsreader?

Also--is there any way to get it indexed by google, maybe along with the 
r-help list (or is it already but I haven't found it)?

Thanks for your consideration

if nobody yells out.
Try googling for "r-devel HOMEDRIVE". And have a look at

I'd appreciate it for all R groups.  I considered doing it 
myself but when it was suggested that I should get people's 
permission I sorta let it go not having the time for any 
possibly lengthy dialogs.

I also like it that when going via newsreader, responses go 
to to the group rather than the respondee.  That behavior on 
a list nearly always trips me up, it is so uncommon.

The r-help mirroring doesn't seem to have caused any trouble, but you
should ask the list maintainer:  it might be worse than I know.

            

      
      
      
    

        
It is, sort of, in the indexing of the archives.  If you want to
search for something and only see the archives you could use something
like

site:tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au  History

You'll pick up some other stuff too, but mostly you'll see archived
messages.

not quite:  I (as list maintainer) *had* been asked before it
happened -- and I had mentioned it as RFC  to the R core mailing list.

yes.  As I had told the person who initiated the R-help -> Gmane 
I think I'd very much want the  mailing list -> News gateway to
be  "ONE WAY" only {and this is an option with gmane}.
Because mail filtering has become quite a delicate (and somewhat
complex) procedure to maintain, I'd rather not have to deal with
mail coming from a news gateway as well, where mail headers may
(or may not) have been pre-processed by the forwarding software.

Yes, please feel free to go ahead!

Well, here we are on gmane.  If anybody wants the settings altered, 
please email me directly unless it is easiest to do it yourself.  Though 
only a developer-voyeur (now), I am happy to take responsibility for the 
  gmane experiment.
