WebNews Distribution

This is the home page for the WebNews news-reading program.

WebNews is a CGI-based NNTP newsreader written in Perl, designed for ease of use (minimal configuration required) and multiple concurrent user access.

You can see some screen shots that illustrate what WebNews looks like.

You can get the WebNews source tarball or see the instructions for downloading from CVS.

In addition, some brief documentation is available, as is the list of user-visible changes from release to release. You may also read the to-do list for the project, or a troubleshooting checklist.

Please check out the contributed patches for WebNews, where you can get localizations into various languages, among other things.
