Re: [Staffslug] Forums

I have been on and off trying to resurrect a project called Papercut. Basically it's a python app that bridges Forums to NNTP servers... i.e. it uses a Forum (such as phpBB) as the backend - but lets you connect to the forum using NNTP.  Then just stick mailman in NNTP gateway mode and bingo. A single chain of discussion available via.. - HTTP based Forum - NNTP - E-mail mailing list But easily manageable (including it's users) with a Forums administrative web based GUI. Will at some point hopefully pick up work on this, because I too hate it when the conversation gets split between too many different mediums, but yet at the same time you want to accommodate to how people want to connect. I'm learning Python as I go doing this (I'm mainly Java, but Python is similar enough) but if anyone else likes the idea and wants to give me a hand then give me a buzz.
