[gnome-love] interested in implementing a (the) newsreader for Gnome?

[Toni Willberg <toniw iki fi>]

Hello world.

Is there anyone else out there who can't find the right newsreader for
your taste?

I use Pan myself, but I don't like the UI at all. Evolution 2.0 is said
to contain a newsreader, but I haven't tested it myself yet, and I'd
guess there are people who don't want to use Evo for that.

I've been planning to develop a client, and I wanted to know if there
are others thinking the very same thing... I don't want to start yet
another project that's never going to finish, so if you are insterested
in the issue let me know.

Some ideas for the UI, that are missing/wrong in current newsreader
implementations:
 - treeview with multiple roots (servers)
 - HIG compliant
 - easy to use; I want my mom to be able to use to :)
 - minimalistic features; it's a newsreader not a nuclear plant...

Ok, now it's your turn to use the cluebat and tell what you think about
this. ;)
