# News This is a web app that contacts the local news server via NNTP and shows a rudimentary read-only forum. The effect is similar to using `lynx` with a news URL like `news://campaignwiki.org/` or `news://cosmic.voyage/`. This web app provides no filtering, no scoring, no pagination (!) – the use-case it currently serves is as an introduction to the news system itself. Users are expected to get accounts and use a NNTP client such as `tin`, `slrn`, `nn`, `knews` or Thunderbird.
