Cool! This is my cup of tea. However, the "piping articles from HN to Usenet" thing is already sort of happening, albeit manually. Have a look at http://compmisc.wikia.com/wiki/Piping_articles_to_Usenet_how-to http://compmisc.wikia.com/wiki/Piping_articles_to_Usenet_how... The comp.misc Usenet group is the Usenet equivalent of Hacker News these days, with a pretty lively and esoteric group. We post articles of interest and cross post follow ups to relevant, other groups when there's a specific Usenet group better suited for that topic. So comp.misc is like an article clearing house and a one-stop shop for new articles, which are typically sourced to HN, Slashdot, Pipedot.org, and elsewhere. The script I linked to above is my own, it's just a little bash script you can use with the newsbeuter RSS reader. Yes it's manual, but it also allows the poster to select articles of most interest to the group. There's still something to be said for human curation. That said, this looks interesting, and I'm still a big Usenet fan, so let's check it out!
