Hi,
I saw that there are already some backends for web-based message
boards. Today I checked out nnslashdot and it works fine.
Is there already work going on to do the same for other sites?
Particularly, I would like to have a nntmf (for the fool.com message
boards).
I guess it should be doable if I just take nnslashdot as an example. Or
is there a more documented approach? E.g. a how-to-write backends. Why
did they have to reinvent usenet, arg *&@^.
CU
Arnd.

There is stuff in the Gnus manual on writing backends, but the
web-based backends mostly follow the same form. Just take
nnultimate.el, rename it and start hacking away at it. nnslashdot is
probably simpler. Less stuff like
(nth 2 (car (cdr (nth 2 contents))))
than nnultimate. (w3 parse trees are very logical once you get used
to them. :-)
