First of all, I would like to give a big thank you to everyone who has put time into making WikiMedia work - I am impressed by how much has been achieved.
You almost got it: WikiMedia is the foundation running several wikiprojects including WikiPedia. I believe you have made MediaWiki (the software run) :)
<snip "cant find a forum"> We have no forum, instead we use mailing lists which are also registered on gname.org which then provide a nntp/blog/forum interface based on mails by users.
<snip "link to mailing list hard to find"> I have changed the "Mailing lists" link on www.mediawiki.org and it now points directly on the list page: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
Incidentally - the gmane interface to the list looks as though it ought to be great, but I find that, in addition to me finding it difficult to find the relevant forums, it does not appear to do searches very well. Is that others' experience as well, or am I just doing something wrong?
Maybe search is broken on gmane actually ? We do not manage that service, so there is little for us to say about it :o)
Meantime, you can have a look at our FAQ: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FAQ
Welcome on the mailing list !
