hi, is this list active?
there appears to be a dead link on the group page pointing to this list: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
dead link: "You can also use the gmane web interface for reading AND posting to the list. http://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/"
also, the welcome email from this list has confusing info: "send a message to the list by sending it to: wikitech-l@wikipedia.org"
and
"To post to this list, send your email to: wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org"
cheers

GMANE's NNTP interface for reading mailing lists is still up (I'm using it), but the NNTP posting is down,
It looks like the website itself is barely limping along.
It is probably time to update that information.

Welcome message needs updated unless there is @wikimedia.org alias

I removed most of the information about Gmane.
also, the welcome email from this list has confusing info: "send a message to the list by sending it to: wikitech-l@wikipedia.org"

Fixed the former address to use lists.wikimedia.org as it should. Probably been well over a decade since someone looked at that. Good spotting!

We should provide something else that remotely resembles the twenty-first century, though. GT (ex gossamer-threads) probably?

I removed most of the information about Gmane.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Overview also needs cleanup
in this regard, but that should probably be a larger effort across many mailing lists.
