Rocksolid Light is based on NewsPortal, which discontinued development in 2008, and was 
developed by Florian Amrhein https://florian-amrhein.de/newsportal/ 

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.
