I simply use nntp://news.gmane.org as an interface to the list, with the added convenience of auto-expiring old articles, I have absolutely no issue with working this way. I'm not sure, even for a project in development, that we should base a large part of our communication on a service that is still in beta. Based on feedback, Google could change the service adversely, or (unlikely) axe the idea altogether. All a small project needs is a big uprooting. I do, OTOH, observe the slowness of Savannah's delivery daily, and it could be an irritation if this list grows much more. -- Matt Howard Superior Insurance - Technical Services
