[Slashcode-development] NNTP

[Matthew S. <mat...@ze...>]

A long time ago in a Slashcode far away (0.3), I wrote a program
called newsd which implemented NNTP support for Slash.  It was
never really used by anyone and wasn't updated when Slash 1.0 was
released.  Until today.

I've taken up the project again, this time under the name NNTB
(Network News Transport for 'Blogs), as the new version will be
usable with other systems such as Scoop.

The Slash-specific portion of NNTB is done - done in the sense
that all the methods are implemented and it compiles, anyway.
Since I'm not terribly familiar with Slash, it might be a good
idea if the gurus would take a look at it.  There are two
components, a standalone daemon and a Slash plugin.  The daemon
part isn't done yet.

The code is at http://www.zevils.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/nntb/, or:

	cvs -d :pserver:ano...@ze...:/home/cvs
	(Password is 'cvs')
	cvs -z3 -d :pserver:ano...@ze...:/home/cvs co nntb

I'd like to emphasize that this is very much a work in progress,
and probably won't even run at this point.  The main thing I'm
interested in now is opinions on the NNTB::Weblog API, my
implementation of the Slash-specific bits, and the general design.

Thanks.
