hi,
i've looked around the freenet and i was wondering what sort of things
beyond what is already publically available at UNC bbs were you envisioning?

As a way to access the net and communicate community to news, unc-bbs seems
to meet these needs.  i'm not arguing against a rtp freenet by any means,
i'm just wondering what your vision for it is, and if it would be a 
reinventing of the wheel.

jem.
