Which I'm a big fan of. What software, and how far along is it?

In a sense it _is_ a slap in the face to Lugnet and Todd. Lugnet isn't
open for anybody to experiment with the software and try to develop new
features. Nor is it controlled by the LEGO fan community, it is
controlled by Todd, and even though Todd _is_ a LEGO fan that isn't
quite the same.

So, sounds like you intend to duplicate a lot of the functionality of
Lugnet.

Have you discussed the possibility of sharing (NNTP seems ideal for this!)
newsgroup posts <-> Lugnet?
