Test of the gmane.org mail-to-usenet gateway

If it works;

There are two different manners to use this list;
- As an ordinary e-mail discussion list
- As a newsgroup

In order to use this list like a newsgroup you must specify the 
NNTP-server news.gmane.org at your newsreader. And also subscribe you on 
the newsgroup gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki

Possibly this can go automatically by selecting the following URL;
news://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki

For posting to the newsgroup you must be a list member. The first time 
you post to the newsgroup you will receive an email for verification of 
your email address, which is normal. If you work by means of the 
newsgroup you probably no longer wants to receive the messages by email. 
To disable email delivery go to "Edit Options".

Search for "wikipedia"  and "wikimedia" on the list of newsgroups of
