# News

This is a web app that contacts the local news server via NNTP and
shows a rudimentary read-only forum. The effect is similar to using
`lynx` with a news URL like `news://campaignwiki.org/` or
`news://cosmic.voyage/`.

This web app provides no filtering, no scoring, no pagination (!) –
the use-case it currently serves is as an introduction to the news
system itself. Users are expected to get accounts and use a NNTP
client such as `tin`, `slrn`, `nn`, `knews` or Thunderbird.

Host `localhost`, port 119, and the hierarchy `campaignwiki.*` are
currently hardwired and should be controllable by a config file.

It'd be nice to have this on CPAN, too.
