Hi,

Looking at the (lack of) reactions, it sounds like not so much people are using gmane. Personally I use news.gmane.org for boost posting (news://news.gmane.org:119/gmane.comp.lib.boost.devel with thunderbird) and I am curious how people do if they are alternatives.

Personally, I'm using email for both posting and reading. I've been using Gmane for searching the archives when I needed a reference, and currently I have no replacement.

I used to use gmane with thunderbird long ago.. No I just use gmail for reading, sending, and searching. Which means I have a decade's worth of Boost related emails archived in my email account :-) But if I have to post a reference to an old email I find it first in my gmail then search for the same one in the mailman archives.

I feel a bit old school now :) I have everything in Thunderbird offline/online with nice search functionalities (and another email client to avoid clutter). I can do everything from Thunderbird and I do not need to be online or to find a corresponding mailman archive for replies (+ the fact that I can have many news channels). So nobody is using an nntp ? From what I understood, the nntp-mailman bridge of GMANE is going to stay, is that right? Is there any other nntp-mailman bridge out there that can be used for boost? Thanks, Raffi
