Also known as: InterNetNews
InterNetNews, the most widely deployed open-source news server, written by Rich Salz in 1991 and maintained since by the Internet Systems Consortium. It handles reading and transit in one package, supports CNFS and tradspool storage, and hosts filter hooks that Cleanfeed plugs into. Most university and hobbyist news sites that still exist run it, as do parts of some commercial backends.
