I was just thinking about this... kinda. The highlights part anyway..... After posting and playing with the PHP-Nuke forums test-site I did mention to the board the thought of using this type of site in its original intent, a news site. Currenty I feel its a bit of a pity that Gems like this (http://www.usatoday.com/money/tech/2001-09-27-msoft-software.htm) are lost to the ether or tucked away in the old-news sections of /. (for which there isn't an open-source 'topic' per se. And newsforge is just way to busy. In a good way. I'd like to use this php-nuke thingy to post this type of story in a k5 type manner. http://open5ource.net I hope the k5 reference isn't lost on anyone. 8^) This particular tool, I feel, is best suited to this type of thing. Its a nice way to catalogue o.s.-ish news chronilogically. And though the webforum isn't something that those who are technical users may prefer it is the default way that newbies would be accustomed to. I just talked myself into it.
