Don't see why it shouldn't, and if I have my way it certainly will :9

Besides, (now that I think of it from a reasonable rather than a geeky
perspective), for those who follow newsfeeds and have such a PDA it
makes sense to have a convenient light-weight reader available. Just
like there are email clients and webbrowsers.

If we ever get a "mail reader"-style GUI off the ground it could
prolly run that too-- it has libcurses available if we're sadistic,
and X/Qt available for X11 apps, though doing something natively would
require writing a Qtopia version of it. Of course, depending on how
much of such a reader is just a convenient back end, it may not be
terribly hard to have a number of different graphical front ends
(depending on how much time we were willing to devote, or how many
other developers we can wrangle in). Done properly (IMO) the logic of
the program should be easily separable from front ends that are web,
shell, curses, emacs, x11, qtopia, cocoa, etc based (web, shell, and
x11 being the best first targets until we get a following). Speaking
of which, what are our plans for a mail-style reader that's driven by
the paperboy tool these days?
