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
–
We develop, watch us RoR, in numbers too big to ignore.

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.

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.

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

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!).

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.

When I posted the message that you are replying to, I received this
response:
Either the message will get posted to the list, or you will receive
notification of the moderator’s decision. If you would like to cancel
this posting, please visit the following URL:http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/confirm/rails/40d76be6b6c0c2e586479ff050786a108fe1ac0a
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.

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?

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?!
