That is great news. I've been wanting to do one for years! I haven't looked much
at yours yet, but here's my ideas anyway :-)
1. Can use web interface or nntp interface
2. web interface looks sort of like reddit, i.e. all posts on a thread
3. users can post anonymously
4. web interfaces supports logins - logged in users can vote up or down on posts
5. web interface can mark posts as read or unread - fixing my beef with reddit
that there's no reasonable way to scan a thread for new posts
6. an easy way for moderators to delete spam
7. runs on 64 bit FreeBSD (what the Digital Mars server runs on), yes, I know
that means I have to get 64 bit dmd on FreeBSD working!
I can contribute the code that generates the D archive pages from the news postings.
