How does is work;

Go to the gmane.org website. http://gmane.org Go to "reading" and do a search for "wikipedia" (or "wikimedia" for the newest lists)

http://news.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia http://news.gmane.org/search.php?match=wikimedia

Select a list.

Now you can read the postings. (for options; choose "help" in drop-down menu)

In the drop-down menu you can pick "followup" or "post".

Use the emailadres that you have used to subscribe to that list.

If it is the first time you use gmane to post to that list you will recive A authorization email that will be sent to you after posting. You have to reply to that message to confirm that you exist. After you've confirmed your existence, the message will then be forwarded to the mailing list.

If you are not a list member it will not reach the list.
