Re: dragonfly site nntp server dead?
Why not use a message board and an RSS service?

You can use the gmane nntp server. IIRC they don't have the full/updated archive of all the dragonfly lists. Cheers. -- Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado http://juanfra.info

I thought this was odd because I read Matt Dillon wrote the Diablo news server. Shouldn't the site at least run his news server? It's like Burger King selling Big Macs! Anyway thanks for whatever you can do.

I've been working on installing mailman on crater to replace the mailing lists and in theory including an NNTP interface. I haven't gotten too far, in part because of reasons. This shouldn't stop anyone else from coming up with a better result, but I am at least working at it.

I would prefer > to use the nntp interface rather than the mailing lists if possible. Thanks. nntp service was indeed decommissioned - there was an email on 11/01/12 to users@ by Matt. You are definitely not alone in preferring nntp access to the mailing lists, and there was some activity to get them up and running a few months ago, but nothing has come of it. Cheers, Alex
