Very cool.
Would it be possible for NIP to include a reply feature like in Egroups?

If NIP can offer a reply-quoted-message, that'll be great.
There are ways that this could be done, unfortunately none of them are quite as simple as they should be, which means that is is unlikely that we can find the resources to put on it.
If it can offer membership so I can browse and reply from NIP directly, that'll be even better. :) [snip]
The main problem with membership is that it raises a whole host of licensing issues which we really don't want to get into. All the points you have raised are valid and good ideas, but they don't fit too well with the way we are currently running the archives. They are, however, features which would be well suited to a zope implementation and that is something which may be on the cards at some point in the future, just not right now (other commitments, workload, etc.). The archives as they stand were created with a specific purpose in mind, to fill a niche in the community. They tools we chose to do it were ones which allowed us to meet that need quickly and easily. Unfortunately, what you are asking for doesn't fit into the original model too well. Sorry I could't be more help. Cheers, Stephen -- Stephen Harrison stephen@nipltd.com New Information Paradigms www.nipltd.com
