I am considering writing a gateway to copy vintage-computer.com/vcforum posts to csa2 based on the RSS feed that is provided for the Apple II forum on the site. Any remarks on this idea?
I'm not a fan. I participate in lots of fora, VC being only one. I'd hate for csa2 to become the sewer into which any and all splinter groups drain. Besides which, the audience for local drivel gets a whole lot wider without the author really knowing it, being used to it, or maybe even consenting to it (depending on implementation details). Website fora tend to grow their own ecosystems, and merging them is probably not the way to go.
The capability to participate in usenet _from_ someplace else is useful - like the way macgui does now, and the way a2central used to.
