Hello, all.

I've been working for a while on a perlmonks -> nntp gateway, and it's finaly ready for release. You can find it on desert-island.dynodns.net, on the normal port (119). Currently, there is no login/password required, and all the gateway is unidirectional. All groups are readonly, except for perlmonks.nntpdiscuss, which is for discussing the gateway itself.

There's a more complete announcement on the server itself, in perlmonks.nntpdiscuss.

The server is currently loaded with the last 7 days of traffic, and will be updated at 15-minute intervals.

I look forward to your comments, and even your bug-reports.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
