Hi all,

I was wondering if this group was accessible from a usenet news reader  
client? Instead of through a web browser? I find newsgroups a lot  
easier to read on such client application. Or is this a Google G.  
only group?

Cheers,  
Diego

I second this, though the interface is really nice, I’d love to see it  
in my Thunderbird 🙂

Gmane is the place to go: [http://gmane.org/about.php](http://gmane.org/about.php)

Point your news reader to [news.gmane.org](http://news.gmane.org) and subscribe to  
gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails.

But beware. The from address you’re posting with must be a member of  
the Google Group “Ruby on Rails: Talk”. Otherwise you can only read  
not post.

In my case I had to create a Google G. account from  
removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid to be able to post.

Bye

Thanks for the info, Patric. I’d much rather read the group in Unison  
than a browser.

Cheers!
