Time magazine implemented theirs using Hypermail, a free package written
by Kevin Hughes at EIT -
<URL:http://www.eit.com/software/hypermail/hypermail.html>. As the author of
another Web-based conferencing system (at hotwired -
<URL:http://www.hotwired.com/Piazza/Threads/> - don't blame me for the
interface!) I've become increasingly convinced that conferencing could be
more efficient using news://host/group rather than
http://host/cgi-bin/whatever. Comments?
