Description

It's recently come to the forum admin staff's attention that the NNTP
server that some use to access the forums at forums.opensuse.org (and
forums.suse.com for that matter) are planned to be shutdown in the near
future.

We have a small but significant group of users who use NNTP as their access
to the forums.

Gertjan suggested that I drop a note to these two groups to see if we could
look at standing up our own INN instances somewhere in the SUSE
infrastructure to take on this role.

We have a gateway that copies messages from NNTP to vBulletin (and vice
versa), so would just need to have a server to manage and host the
messages. I have done some work on maintaining the gateway code, and my
test environment uses INN, so I know the configuration works.

I'm going to be out of town next week with limited access to e-mail
(business trip with evening events), but I'm happy to provide input and
assistance as I am able to.

Jim
