1) Take the list of all publicly archived mailing lists: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/ 2) List all those which are not yet in http://dir.gmane.org/search.php?match=gmane.org.wikimedia or http://dir.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia and add the list here as comment (this can be helped by bug 58957 but can be done independently from that). 3) Subscribe each of them at http://gmane.org/subscribe.php , filling the fields in this way (don't touch the others): a) Mailing list email address: <name>@lists.wikimedia.org, e.g. advocacy_advisors/ 2013-Dec-03 03:27:08 - Directory -> advocacy_advisors@lists.wikimedia.org, b) Description: the description on [[m:Mailing lists/Overview]] if present, or whatever https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/<name> says, or nothing. c) Mailing list software: mailman d) [IMPORTANT!] Group name: follow existing patterns, so gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.<LanguageNameInEnglishAllLowercase> for Wikipedia mailing lists, or gmane.org.wikimedia.<MailingListName> (without any -l) for all the rest unless a more specific parent exists, in particular "india" for Indian groups, "usa" for USA groups and "mediawiki" for all MediaWiki-related lists [1] [2] [3] e) [Optional] Language: the list's language if not English; Localisation: yes f) Your email address: my email address, federicoleva@ (bugzilla tells you it); g) Comments: "We hope to be able to provide mbox archives too for completeness at a later stage but we'll appreciate the inclusion of the lists just for posts from now on too".
