As I said in another post, I think converting FTX to HTML on the back-end
would be a "better use of your time" type of solution, considering how
diverse your audience is.

Some other ides to consider:
- A true RSS feed direct from LUGNET, with ability to follow post in
a particular group (ie. lugnet.pirate or lugnet.loc.us.fl vs. everything).
- Posting/Reading API based on XML, with authentication. With so much
fragmentation going on with web-sites, it would be nice to see some one
support cross-posting to LUGNET (ie. I'd make an announcement on the
MyLEGOSite.com forum and have it cross-posted to LUGNET's lugnet.xxx group;
it would be understood that I'd have to enter my LUGNET login credentials
in order for my announcement to be cross-posted to LUGNET).
- I'd like to see Blogger-like gadgets as an side-bar option of the
LUGNET groups. Right now, to admin a section, you have to
manually add FTX code if you want to change the side-bar to a LUGNET
group. What would be nice, add a gadget that sucks in a RSS feed from a
LEGO blog & does a partial display of the blog as the sidebar. (For
instance the lugnet.trains.org.gfltc would actually display the RSS
entries/announcements from the gflug.org web-site).
Just a few off the top of my head...
