rslight contains some major code and feature changes, but would not exist

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.
