== A useful resource: gmane.org

There's a lot of useful mailing lists out there; far too many to
actively subscribe to, especially if they're all going to funnel into
your inbox. And often you're not sure how interested you're going to
be in a particular mailing list, or it's only interesting some of the
time or for a few discussions. Plus, let's be honest here: most email
clients don't deal very well with lots of email messages.

Enter [[gmane.org|http://www.gmane.org/]], where they subscribe to
almost every open source or technical mailing list they can find,
gateway them all to news groups, keep them around forever, and then
let you read and search them through NNTP, RSS, and several web-based
views.

This makes [[gmane.org]] an ideal place to dip your toes into new
mailing lists or mailing lists you're only interested in every so
often. Even for mailing lists you want to read regularly, using
[[gmane.org]] has the advantage that good news readers are simply
better than almost all email clients for that sort of message volume.
(And since [[gmane.org]] has each mailing list in its own newsgroup,
you don't need to disentangle ten mailing lists and your regular
email, all in one mailbox.)

There's more [[gmane.org]] features, but I'll let you go to their
website to read about them.
