Hi all,

I wonder if anyone knows of work/code to display posts from a local news
server (inn2) within a web browser using Zope (Python external methods)?
I thought it would be good to check before I possibly (and very slowly)
reinvented the wheel.

If anyone has good ideas how to achieve this I'd appreciate it. I
thought I'd look for a command-line newsreader that I can get to, say,
pipe the latest 10 posts to a text file (I'm only familar with GUI
clients like Pan). I would then upload the data to the zope server which
would format it for display.

I did find this proposal:

Many thanks,
Adam
