I run a public Usenet node, it's not that hard and is kind of fun: http://csiph.com http://csiph.com One of my goals is to eventually build a web frontend that doesn't suck.. Google Groups is pretty terrible. I would love to find a way to crawl and archive Google's Usenet archive but they rate limited it many years ago. Highwinds/easynews has complete text retention back to 2003 or so, and I think that's the oldest I've seen elsewhere. I released a SaltStack formula https://github.com/kev009/salt-innd https://github.com/kev009/salt-innd so you can see what an inn config looks like and set up your own. Without peering, it would be a pretty nice way to do company discussion.. new employees can see all the old topics which mailing lists are often not ideal for. Feel free to PM me for posting access or peering, would be nice to get more discussion and eyeballs in the comp.* space.
