By default it is a mailing list -- that is to say that anyone who 
subscribes will get emails for every posting and be able to reply by 
email.  Thewre is, as you say, no need ever to go to the web 
interface UNLESS you need to check that your own postings have 
arrived, since Google for some reason does not send copies to the 
sender of his own postings.

Anyone can read the messages on the web without needing a gmail 
account, but if you want to post from the web interface I think you 
need a gmail account, which is a very useful thing to have and free 
for all.

Several people have joined already and so far everything seems to be 
working fine.
