effort. I know for a fact innd was investigated and that someone looked into running an instance. (an attempt to on-board another Hero).
The innd server exists, but it has to connect to the webforum somehow. We are stuck there.
ISTR vBulletin having a standard config for that, but I have not looked at for quite some time.
It's an add-on, but it's one that's installed IIRC.
I believe so too. I feel certain I have seen the config fields.
But it's more than just hooking it all together - if authentication is to be used (if anything for spam prevention), that needs to be configured, and there are different user groups (like staff/public at a minimum) that should be defined with different access, since the private forums should also be gated to the NNTP server, but shouldn't be publicly visible.
Yes, that is pretty much the situation. It simply needs someone who wants to do it, take care of it, feed it. Like any other baby :-) I consider it to be relatively low-hanging fruit, hence a good place for getting someone new on board. We just need someone with the right itch. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (17.6°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes
