Just a thought: Todd, I don't know how LUGNET codewise is implemented, but I assume you have an user-database somewhere (to validate posting-priveleges and to store subscribed mailinglists etc.) At our company I implemented our Intranet, it's (...)

(...) Todd, How open are you towards receiving coding help from the community? I feel that I'd be less useful in helping develop policy, but I can do quite a bit in implementation. Is LUGNET modular enough to allow many hands in the code? Cheers, - (...) (25 years ago, 10-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) It really isn't, no. But from time to time there might be things which are encapsulatable enough to be done independently and worked in afterwards. The FTX-to-HTML compiler, for example, is fairly encapsulated -- except for the transclusion (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Just occurred to me earlier today - someone said it's too bad you can't view links like <set:8880> in the newsreader - then I thought, why can't we put a filter between incoming messages and the news DB to make it possible? basically move the (...)

(...) It needs to be a late-binding thing. The conversion from <set:8880> to <A HREF="/pause/search/...80></A> in the web interface happens at on-the-fly only at display-time. If you have a highly configurable newsreader (like something (...) (25 years ago, 13-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

One thing missing which would be 100% encapsulatable would be a filter to fix up icky encodings like "quoted-printable" (which cause stuff like =F6 and =20 to appear all over the place) into regular non-encoded (...)
