I've been (on-and-off) working on integrating nntp, web (forums etc), mailing 
list and RSS into a single platform - the idea being that people could choose 
how to view their messages.

Currently everything's stored as NNTP (using inn2), I have Web-News which acts 
as a forum (ish) + RSS feed, and I might one day get round to setting up 
mail2news / etc

More likely, I'll go back to basics and write up something from scratch that 
uses *SQL for storage, though. Getting everything working together nicely is 
proving to be a bit of a pain.
