CadSoft forums now available on element14

Thinking of all the flaming going on here I think Ive come to a conclusion

that would work for all parties.

If Cadsoft sketch out some guidelines on how to interface the nntp interface

for external interfaces it may work.

Here are some suggestion (open for changes of course):

Outgoing posts (from nntp to external interface):

-User interfaces that is created at the nntp server and imported into a

external interface (like web) should import and present the article in plain

text.

-The external interface's article should add a footer containing "This

message is imported from Cadsoft's NNTP groups".

Incoming posts (from external interface to the nntp server)

-Articles posted through a external interface should:

• Add a footer to the end of the posting when posted to the nntp server.

• The footer should contain a link to the original interface posting.

• The link to the original posting should not require any login to be

viewed

• non NNTP compatible characters should be removed before posted to the

NNTP server

• Spam should not be forwarded to the nntp server.

there is no safe way to detect spam, and spam should always be

rejected at the first interface, not dropped by the gateway.

As far as I see, you consider multiple gateways to multiple external

web based interfaces o.k., right? I'm afraid that multiple gateways

to external message storage is a source of problems.

Could you point out the benefit of your solution over web access to

the NNTP groups?

That would leave Cadsoft alone with their NNTP interface, and give clear

guidance (and point responsibility) to whoever wants to relay it.

And we will get rid of all this noise

Cadsoft should not have to worry about these external relays. They need to

focus on Eagle better and keep all maintenance costs low.
