It looks like the main difference will be that connecting is done first through the GroupLens Name Server (glens) rather than directly to the Better Bit Bureau (or glurb, GroupLens Rating Burea; we got in trouble with another BBB). There may be some other minor changes in the protocol, though it's pretty much the same. We'll have support for both average and personalized ratings, and the glurb reports back which is which, but I'm not sure yet how (or if) to report that to the user. Very soon we'll have another GroupLens trial up and running. This time we have funding to keep it going for at least three years. We'll have average ratings for comp.*, soc.*, talk.*, misc.*, and a few others. (Alt.* is a bit too big, at least at the moment.) Personalized ratings will appear for some newsgroups, and ultimately we may find a way to automatically switch personalized on and off based on cost/benefit. I have gnus-5.4.46, and plan to send you diffs, unless there's a better way to do it. -Dave -- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
