Rocksolid Light is based on NewsPortal, which discontinued development in 2008, and was
|
2020-12-04 00:40:08 +01:00
|
|
|
developed by Florian Amrhein https://florian-amrhein.de/newsportal/

rslight contains some major code and feature changes, but would not exist
|
2020-11-29 02:31:18 +01:00
|
|
|
without NewsPortal as a basis for development.

Rocksolid Light is a php web forum interface that basically uses nntp as a backend.
|
|
|
|
|
Forums can be Usenet newsgroups, or any groups you wish to create. Forums can be
|
|
|
|
|
synchronized with other rslight installs, or other nntp servers.
