Hi Cornelius, There is a bug about this at the moment, we're not completely sure what it is yet because the settings on the interface side appear correct. You can still see the archives at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation however for now.

The archives were rebuilt (and then restored up to January) under request of a user who shared private information in February. Old links are not broken and you can normally access the specific "volumes": http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2014-February/thread.html Nemo _____________

Was that done so that anyone who wanted to know precisely which post contained sensitive info would simply need to compare lists of posts between the "official" archive and the various services that publicly archive the list?

Hear that sound? That's the sound of a million data miners working to figure out what juicy bit of info has been redacted. Cheers, Craig
