-Comedi has a mailing list.  Send "subscribe comedi" to
-comedi-request@stm.lbl.gov to subscribe.  Traffic is light, and mainly
-questions/answers about comedi installation, bugs, and programming.
-General questions about data acquisition are also welcome.
-Alternatively, you can subscribe and unsubscribe at
-http://stm.lbl.gov/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/comedi.
-You can always unsubscribe by sendinging "unsubscribe" (spell
-it correctly!) to comedi-request@stm.lbl.gov.
+Questions about Comedi and Comedilib should be sent to the Comedi
+mailing list, <comedi_list@googlegroups.com>.  It is necessary to
+join the group before posting (see below).  It is also possible to
+post to the list using the web interface (see below).  Mailing the
+maintainer directly is always acceptable, but since the mailing list
+is archived and questions are often answered more quickly by others,
+the mailing list is preferred.
+
+To subscribe to and unsubscribe from the mailing list, or to read or
+post messages via the web interface, go to
+<http://groups.google.com/group/comedi_list>.  Alternatively, you
+can send a blank email to <comedi_list+subscribe@googlegroups.com>
+to subscribe, or to <comedi_list+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com> to
