Rails - Dec 2005 - semi-OT: Is there an NNTP accessible version of this list?

The list volume is getting to be too much to handle easily in email -  
is this mailing list gatewayed to a newsgroup someplace publicly  
accessible so I can use a scoring newsreader to try and keep up?

Yes, the mailing list can be accessed, both for reading and posting,
through a Usenet news reader, at

      news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails

Don''t do anything irrevocable though. The gmane interface is not so
great.

You have to confirm that you are posting on every post. I.e. post, 
receive e-mail with a link, click on link (or reply) and your post is 
submitted to gmane.

Then there is sometimes a second step where some postings from gmane 
have to be approved for the mailing list and this doesn''t necessarily 
happen soon, or at all.

Through Mozilla it works for me just like a normal newsgroup
(only with mangled e-mail addresses).

Other than the few times the mailing list has had problems, I''ve not
noticed much delay before my posts appear on the group.  Is there
really some moderation going on?

If your MUA supports threading it should be just as manageable as any 
newsgroup.  That solves most of the problem.

Second, use a filter, such as procmail, to chunk it off into its own 
folder and read it whenever you like.

My procmail recipe:

     # Ruby on Rails mailing list
     :0:
     * ^List-Id: rails.lists.rubyonrails.org
     .Lists.RubyOnRails/

Works great from me.. I frequently use Thunderbird (Win32), Mail.app (OS 
X), and PINE (FreeBSD) MUAs.

In my experience, it works just fine. You only have to authenticate once
per _group_ (mailing list). Having doing this, you can use the gateway
just like a regular newsgroup (it''s fast, too!).

When I posted the message that you are replying to, I received this

Visiting that url, 16 hours after posting, implies that the message is 
still being held for moderator approval.

If there is an error in my configuration, I''d appreciated any
suggestions.

Thunderbird version 1.5 Beta 1 (20050908)
Mac OS X 10.4.3
Subscribed to gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails on news.gmane.orn

The e-mail address that I am using for posting hasn''t changed.
Possibly relevant, that e-mail address is approved for posting to the 
main mail list but I have set it to not receive mail directly from the list.

Do you know that your messages are appearing on the mail list?

I suppose it is some kind of misconfiguration as it works for me, using
thunderbird 1.0.7 (as well as earlier versions) on Ubuntu Linux. Maybe
try to set you mail account and news account to the exact same From:
name/address, or reregister at gmane.

For the rails list (as opposed to ruby-lang I think), it''s not
necessary
to be subscribed (silently) to be able to post.

Cheers,
Paulus

Thanks, that''s exactly what I was looking for.

Or, you could just use a newsreader, which, presumably, is what the OP 
was after -- gmane.* groups.  It''s an e-mail => nntp gateway, the
web
interface isn''t really necessary at all.

The approval stuff is at the mercy of the list admin for the list.

??? Is this night of the living dead thread?
7 years old... do you think the OP is still watching for your answer?! ;-)
