There's an XOOPS 2 plugin which can bridge the amiga.org forums to NNTP quite seamlessly.


I'm absolutely for an NNTP interface to the forums - newsreaders are so much better than web forums.  There's a (read-only) vBulletin-NNTP gateway as well (it's a bit of an external hack, there may be a more direct option).


As for the browsers thing, it's only a matter of time before OS3 gets a usable CSS browser - either a new/updated port of OWB or NetSurf, the long-awaited new version of iBrowse or something completely new like Merlin.

I say upgrade amiga.org to modern standards and let the browsers take care of themselves.  It may even give potential browser programmers some extra incentive.
