I clicked on the link for the mailing list, but my browser tells me that the security certificate is missing etc.

 

I've never joined a mailing list, but I don't want to loose track of where this is heading, is this normal behaviour for a mailing list? or a configuration issue at my end?

Yes, it's an SSL connection, and chances are that the certificate is self-signed or generated by an untrusted certificate authority - or doesn't match the url it's being used for. In this case it's been generated from zarb.org - which as we know are the easyurpmi dudes.

 

I would say it's safe to add an exception in Firefox, but I'm not responsible for anything that might happen to your system (legal disclaimer :D ).

The Mageia mailing-lists are now also available through gmane.org, where they can be read with the web browser or using nntp (with a suitable newsreader, like for example Seamonkey).

 

mageia-dev:

nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.mageia.devel

 

mageia-discuss:

http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.mageia.user

mageia-announce

http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.mageia.announce

The announce list will only show up once it gets a first post.

I've added a link to the Mageia blog above - it has more activity than the main site. :)

Mageia forums are now up and running.
