? And I'd like to note that Gmane supports RSS, too.

That's why Gmane may be of interest: it offers a forum- and a
blog-like Web-interface for a mailing list. In particular, the
messages posted via the Web interface are instantly available to
the mailing list subscribers and vice versa [2]. No separation
between the two, and no confusion, either.
So, why not just to fill the form at [2] and let the community
test the usability? Won't it prove to be worthwhile, the things
could be undone pretty easily.

Why? Because the SFI Board takes decision together and we don't want to
rush into things (you might have noticed - *irony* ). I looked (quickly)
at gname and was confused by the user interface. Not something that
seems that easy to me (and still looks very geeky as well).
But as I said, we're gathering feedbacks and at our next board meeting
(today in 5 hours - assuming we have enough time this week) we will
weight the pros and cons and maybe take a decision.
Thank you.
