nndejanews, uhm, nndejagnus, no, nnweb

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

Ok, so I have a hard time making up my mind.

I'm now rewriting nnweb (nee nndejagnus) to be a general Web search
engine thingie.  It'll support DejaNews, Reference and Alta Visa, I
guess.  Any nndejagnus groups you create with Red 0.13 will be
obsolete in Red 0.14.

When will nnweb be ready, so we can browse the web as we can do in
netscape ;-) Then we really can call Gnus for Gnutscape or something
;-)..

Well, seeing as Gnuscape already exists
	<URL:http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html>
this would be in direct competition.  Wonder what Bill would say to
that...?  ("which Bill?" you sez.  "You figure it out" sez I).

But he said "Gnutscape", not "Gnuscape".  :-)

I know.  But the names are close enough to warrant a trade mark
infringement suit.

William -- if I use the word "Gnutscape" in the manual (to describe
the nnweb backend), will you sue me for trademark infringement?  :-)

  I'm sure that equitable licensing terms can be arranged.  Have your
attorney call my attorney and they'll do lunch.  (I'll buy the arsenic)

Humm I know a bit old.. but ;-) Why so netscape fixated, why not try
some name that will make people wake up, like Gnus (Internet?)
Explorer ;-)

I have now tried rgnus 0.15, what have yo done to it, awful!
Wonderful.. reading virtual groups doesn't chug processor as in
previous versions!

Ahh well I find the nnweb backend good, but when searching on
altavista I only get the 20 first matches?? Are there functinality to
see the 'next matches' from altavista?

It didn't quite work.  In 0.18, nnweb will fetch `nnweb-max-hits'
articles. 

I've had several reports from people who can't get nnweb to do
anything much.  I've had output sent to me, and when I try to parse
it, everything works ok.  What's going on here?  Are there some
gremlins I've not considered?
