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.
