Dear Reader,
Usenet news server is becoming a disappearing rarity. In attempt to
preserve otherwise good concept, let me introduce a alternative that
lets you do about same things that you normally do with news:
Classified ads, installable for windows + linux from
http://katiska.org/classified-ads/
crucial difference is this: no NNTP server required. Other features include:
- open source, LGPL license
- data storage is DHT among user workstations
- designed for text-based posts but you may include images and other
(small) files too in postings
- minimalistic operator data sharing
- includes also private messaging between operators
- simple search function for content
- really easy setup
Free software is free to try out.
