We would like to set up an integrated facility for carrying on
local structured discussions, using a netnews/notes-like structure,
and to read (and write) external netnews via nntp.  There are a number
of different machines that people use, including suns and sgi's.  We
would like to have one "master" program/interface to do both, so that
the only difference between the external and the local newsgroups is
the distribution.  We don't control the nntp server, BTW.  What is a reasonable
way to do this, such that all the local people can read all of the local
postings as well as all the external postings.  We are currently using a
mixture of rrn and gnus for news reading.  We are considering notes, 
some extension of gnus so that it would read a local spool directory if
it couldn't find a group via nntp, and any other (more) reasonable 
alternatives.

Any ideas?  What do you do?

Thanks,
