- hi,
- i've looked around the freenet and i was wondering what sort of things
- beyond what is already publically available at UNC bbs were you envisioning?
-
- As a way to access the net and communicate community to news, unc-bbs seems
- to meet these needs. i'm not arguing against a rtp freenet by any means,
- i'm just wondering what your vision for it is, and if it would be a
- reinventing of the wheel.
