Is there anyone out there sufficiently bored to port a decent Usenet newsreader to the 770?

Pan would be nice (but probably overkill), or slrn (although I don't think that one has offline capability). It would probably be advisable not to default it to download the entire list of newsgroups of a particular server, as those lists tend to be humongous these days, but to give the user the possibility to manually enter the newsgroups he wants.

Ideal would be a combination of leafnode and slrn on the 770, or would that be too much to ask for?

"Pan" is already available... but I can't remember where I saw it.

Are you kidding?!? Where? Where? WHere?

Decent usenet reading would be for me a killer app (besides what we already have such as Maemo Mapper, Bloglines 770, Del.icio.us 770, Nflick etc.)

it shows up in my applications to install if you have the repository catalogs entered from http://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationRepositories

Just installed it too. I thought it was going to be a port of a console reader (like slrn or pine) but it's actually a nice-looking GUI app...

I've installed "pan" but it disappointed me (too buggy and too heavy, ~ 2Mb).

You can find it in the repositories (look in wiki at maemo.org)

I haven't my 770 with me, and won't have it for a couple of weeks (white screen...), is there any way to see this? Port homepage, someone to post screenshots etc..?

Thanks!

I don't see it. Probably because I haven't upgraded to 2006 yet (and I won't, certainly not until at least abiword and Gnumeric are ported, and the BT keyboard works as it does under 2005).

I can't find it.

If you add the first few repositories on this page :
https://maemo.org/maemowiki/ApplicationRepositories

to your apps manager, you will find it in the list.
