I've sent repeated requests to Google to pick up the n.g. which they've 
ignored. I've thought since that might not be a bad thing, as we don't 
get a whole lot of spam here.

I like the reddit comment system a lot. I read it's open source now. If 
it could be used in conjunction with the n.g., that would be ideal.

(In conjunction meaning that the reddit would be the "web interface" to 
the n.g.)

The web interface used now sucks, but it is the only one we found that 
would even work. It is open source, and anyone is free to try and 
improve it.
