let me know if that works for you.

check out a similar service, with a lot more features (in fact, it is based on the code of dropbox, but not compatible
anymore):

it is still in development, but already usable.

>Synchronet uses ssjs, which is interesting.

is that like nodejs ? it is both server side java script, if i understand well.

>Do we write an interface script? Something along the lines of pullnews and do all the work without any plugins, just run the script? This requires specific code for every variation of database layouts of web interface software.

I am not sure to understand the exact difference between a script and a plugin.
To start with the language, I would use php for that, because we have an existing codebase (ff and rslight), and almost all forum software is in php, so it should be easy to add our stuff if we use the same language.
Any implementation needs to be specific to the forum software, but I have the hope that the adaption to any given forum software is just a matter of a few minutes.

> Do we write a plugin that does as you state above, post to the db and to nntp server at the same time? This is what fudforum does.

I think this is the easiest. Any forum has a line in the code where the message is written to the db. Right after this, we just insert a call to our function (to write to the news server), which we need to feed the correct parameters of course.

>Then to work the other direction, we need a plugin to pull articles from the nntp server (fudforum uses nntp.php) Looking at nntp.php (ff), it works reasonably well, but is of course written specifically for ff, and depends on other files included, and config files. It would take some time to modify it to work with other software, but still might be a good basis to start from.

Either we start with ff, or with rslight (it does the same thing, right ?)

> Posting to the nntp server is easy, probably easier than pulling articles from a db, modifying them (for nntp format) and then posting them. At this point, I lean toward a plugin for posting, and a script for pulling. This is how ff does it, and it seems to be a reasonable way to do it.

Okay, so you mean the difference between a plugin and a script is that the plugin is called from the forum code, while the script is just started and runs independently ?

> rslight already contains the code to produce nntp messages, which we can of course modify as needed. I would like to take some time to dissect nntp.php and see how simple I can bring it down (removing dependencies on ff, etc.). Then try to get it working just writing a plain text file. Once that works, we try to write directly to a db. What do you think?

Sounds good to me.

> For a plugin, it should be a simple matter of adding nntp config, then taking the variables containing post info and structuring into a var for nntp format, then just send it with rpost or similiar.

If we use rpost, we need to work on the same machine again. It would be neat to have a solution that works over the network as well (a small client), to lower the bar for federation as much as possible. I guess the installation of a news server would scare off many newbies.

Exactly. Server side javascript.

I agree completely.

I believe so. Maybe best to start with rslight and just change how it
"saves" the articles. I can work on a new function to simply write each
article "part" in an array to make it easy to then write to different
db formats.

Exactly. I still think this is the best or easiest way.

rpost can write to a remote server. This is how I'm making my
encryption test messages, I'm sending them from my desktop with no inn
server, to rocksolid2 using rpost.
