Nah... I don't see much use for it outside pmwiki.org. Hmm, unless we
happen to ship documentation that refers to posts on gmane - don't know
about that one actually...

I wasn't too clear here... the thing is that there are several ways to
view a post on gmane. For instance:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.user/15705
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.user/15705
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.user/15705
but I suggest we make it easy just go with either of the first two...

PS. There's also some other interesting URIs such as
http://rss.gmane.org/messages/complete/gmane.comp.web.wiki.pmwiki.user
but that's not relevant here.
