All of the above should be considered pre-alpha quality, more like a whiteboard of insanity. If, despite all these caveats, you'd still like to check out the spool for yourself, point your newsreader at nntp-test.soylentnews.org. There are three groups on the server, soylentnews.discuss, just for general discussion for folks who come by, a test group for testing posting, and the spool itself at soylentnews.test.mainpage.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments below.

That said, I am not at all certain the actual usage would justify the time and effort this would take. It sounds like a really cool idea with a lot of potential, but those do not always pan out in the end.

Another advantage of NNTP is peering: If you allow peering, then others can put up their own NNTP servers for Soylent, and thus take off some load from the main server. Probably all the newsgroups should be set to moderated, though, so that any posts have to go through Soylens's servers.
