There are two conversion problems present in changing the news system. 1) how to convert the users and the existing data base of a specific system. 2) how to get systems running the 'new news' to be able to talk to the present version. I have no specific comments on number 1. I suspect that it will be fairly straightforward but messy. Number two may pose some problems. Getting the existing news to transmit articles to the new one won't be hard, because news is happy to use ANY program for the transmission process, and we can write one that converts to the new format. Hopefully the new news will be equally flexible.
