[gef-dev] [FAQ]? how to access the mailing list archives & newsgroup

["Rode, Jochen" <jrode@xxxxxx>]

Hi,
I just tried to access the archives of
the GEF mailing list but get a pop-up box
asking for authentication. 
What is the user-id/password?
Same is true when trying to access the web UI
for the news group.
Last but not least, the newsgroup 
eclipse.tools.gef doesn't seem to exist
on the eclipse news server. I also can't
find it on groups.google.com

Is the GEF project still active?

Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jochen
