Reading these "newsgroups" is a great way to keep up with what's going on
with R without the daily digest tedium:
- gmane.comp.lang.r.general
- gmane.comp.lang.r.devel
- gmane.comp.lang.r.announce

The BioConductor mailing list is also there, but I find its name a bit odd:
- gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor

The name makes some sense, but I missed it for months because it didn't have
"bioconductor" exactly in the name.
