It'd be a good idea for people who *really* like their news readers, but most of the people who are married to the features of a news reader will either get the same thing out of a web forum (if they use a GUI newsreader) or out of mutt (if they use a threaded text-based news reader). I'd be glad to run an INN server for PLUG (I've got a few machines running INN already, though for a completely different purpose), and I *do* know a very little bit about bridging mailing lists and network news servers, but I'm not sure it solves the same problem(s) that Chris Shank is trying to solve. > You could have a few different groups if you wanted, one > operating as a regular newsgroup (with threading) and > one containing a "dump" of all of the messages from the > PLUG mailing list? In fact, you can have one newsgroup that's both. :^> > Is this hard to do? No, but I don't think it's necessary. It'd be neat... but what utility does it provide we haven't already got? -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
