Subject: nttp<-->http test

from the funny-things-people-do-with-Ruby dept.

Some people prefer the mailing list,
some like to read comp.lang.ruby by newsreader,
some start up a webforum
....or something like that.

For another option point your browsing tool to
 http://193-170-226-120:30000/  (replace - with .)
and try a nntp newsreader with a http interface.
Accounts are "testrxxx", xxx in [001..999], pass is "friend"

Although in limited local production use since Oct04, this is a
prototype which has still several bugs and design defects.
This test is run for a few days to get some feedback (or a wishlist?)
whether it's a good idea to continue pouring resources into this
project and aim for a generic public release, or leave it at
current "good enough" local use level.
Note that some features are disabled in this build, e.g. you can
compose new articles but they are never send out.

have fun,
Martin
