The gateway part is trivial. I can certainly help any such volunteers, but I suspect that a paragraph of notes on how the current gateway's configuration file works would be enough. The existing gateway can manage multiple news feeds, multiple mailing lists, and any permutation of messages between any one or more news server and any one or more mailing list. You just have to add more lines to the single config file. The only thing it really can't do is bounce a message from one mailing list to a news server and then to a different mailing list, or from news to mail to different news. I'd probably have to make the seen-again check more discerning, or we could install a second gateway script with a different tag header. However, given the amount of spam on usenet these days, do we really want the lists hooked to usenet?
