I've been interested in a long time in writing a D cgi application that 
runs on the server and enables a reddit-like view of the n.g. postings, 
as well as the usual n.g. nntp interface.

The current archiving stuff 
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/archives/digitalmars/D/announce/index.html
is a step in that direction, but it is not interactive and doesn't allow 
posting.

People would have two possible ways to interact with the n.g. - through 
the standard NNTP interface using a normal newsreader, or the 
reddit-style interactive web view. The latter would also allow logged in 
users to vote + or -, have avatars, etc.
