Many require authentication before reading; would this be a "closed" NNTP server (no feeds) and have everyone read from it directly? If not, then that cannot be made to work; but having it all in one place seems fine, I think. > Although it's not high on my infrastructure list (which is mostly > about development and governance at the moment), I don't have a > problem with running a news server eventually.

I'd love to have a news server which properly deals with cross posting too (I once wrote a mail2news gateway script which would recognize all groups and just post it with the message id from the mail message [this has some potential issues as the Usenet message id is restricted] and so duplicate posts were prevented) Usenet, it's just like RSS but better :-) Casper _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
