yep. and no pushing, that means the content is always fresh
because you're getting it from the source (via aggregators).
could also build a Mail (acme interface not upas) ui to it.

authentication could follow russ' model for sources; readers
can be 'none' and syndicators require a login.

syndication is done with either exportfs or a "drawterm" like
gizmo from other os.
