<p><b>New page</b></p><div>I have far too much incoming information, all the time. This torrent is only likely to increase. How best to organize it? The WORDHORDE, inspired by William S. Burroughs's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Word_Hoard Word Hoard], is my ongoing attempt. Requirements, or at least desired properties, of WORDHORDE include:<br />
* spooling to a personal store, using NNTP or perhaps Maildir or even IMAP<br />
** whatever backend is used, it must support speedy ncurses-based clients (like [[slrn]] and [[mutt]]) and scripts<br />
** further UI must address Bayesian searching, clustering-based searching, etc...<br />
** an actual database might be desirable, as opposed to flat files ala an NNTP spool<br />
* permanent personal archival of all incoming data (including spam, phishing, malware etc for later/long-term analysis)<br />
* being a good netizen -- event-driven mechanisms when possible, optimal bulk transfers, etc<br />
* sources/dests must include RSS feeds, NNTP, mailing lists, personal mail, IM history<br />
* full bidirectional gateway capabilites -- post NNTP and have it turned into an IM, a mail, a phone call voiced by <tt>festival(1)</tt>, a blog comment, etc...<br />
** needs address protected poll-based feeds: [http://dankamongmen.livejournal.com LJ flist], [http://lwn.net LWN subscription], etc...<br />
<br />
== HTTP ==<br />
=== RSS ===<br />
==== Mail Gateways ====<br />
* [http://packages.debian.org/rss2email rss2email]: <tt>r2e</tt> binary seems pretty simple for turning RSS into SMTP.<br />
** <tt>r2e new defaultmail</tt>: create a new r2e database, with default email target defaultmail<br />
** <tt>r2e add url optmail</tt>: add a feed to the database by URL, with an optional email target optmail<br />
** <tt>r2e run</tt>: scan for new articles; mail them. designed for cronjob use, it seems.<br />
<br />
==== Console Readers ====<br />
* [http://packages.debian.org/olive olive] (Olive r1 01b7): attractive reader, imports [[OPML]] directly<br />
** Add a new feed with ^A, edit with ^E, options with ^O<br />
** Not very configurable, kind of slow<br />

<br />
=== Servers ===<br />
* [http://packages.debian.org/leafnode leadnode] - http://leafnode.sourceforge.net/<br />
** Perhaps the only actively-developed open, sane NNTP server?<br />

<br />
=== Utilities ===<br />
* [http://packages.debian.org/nglister nglister] - list newsgroups / stats from an NNTP server<br />
