Blogging Roller

Dave Johnson on social software, open source and Java

gmane.org.

When gmane.org offered to mirror the Roller mailing lists as NNTP newsgroups, I was a little worried that we'd get too many random yahoos poking around in our business. I liked the idea that the inconvenience of mailing-list signup filters out the less serious folks. Now that I've finally started using gmane.org to follow other open source project mailing lists, I don't care anymore. What an awesome service! I'll live with a couple of random yahoos for this level of convenience.
