I've been really busy at work and not able to hang out here as much as I'd
like. But I noticed that there's a new rating system, which seems pretty
cool, except it seems useless to me as an NNTP user. :(

Todd, are you aware of the GroupLens system? It's not in very wide use, but
it's supported by quite a few popular newsreaders (GNUS, slrn, Tin, WinVN).
This isn't exactly like what you're doing with LugNET, but it would be
extremely cool if you would consider making LugNET GroupLens-compatible.

If not, and if there's nothing in the works that I've missed, I'm
considering hacking rating support into slrn. I can rate articles with:

curl http://www.lugnet.com/news/rate.cgi -d \
  "RATE%7Elugnet.off-topic.test:1489=70"  --cookie /=86Cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Todd, is there an easy and reliable way to pull down message ratings? I can
parse the HTML, but that's not particularly elegant.

(...) Not yet, no, but planned for. (...) Yikes, and bandwidth and CPU intensive. The only scripts on the lugnet.com server which are intended to be called from other scripts are... /news/avid.cgi /news/rate.cgi ...those have APIs (others don't). (...)
