It seems clear to me from the list that he'd like to have a news server
running that is the home site for this hierarchy (sort of like
forum.linuxworld.com).  This would require running INN or an equivalent
on belegost.  I compiled and adminned INN on a UnixWare 1.1.3 system
back in the INN 1.3-1.4 days (actually, I figured out the configuration
changes necessary to get it running and passed them back to Rich Salz),
but I haven't looked at it in a while.  As I recall it's a fairly easy
install on Linux, and so long as you're not taking a usenet feed from
anywhere else it's not terribly resource intensive.  Heck, it might even
be useful in some way for other SEUL groups.
