  Description     : A utility to filter the daily newsletter from freshmeat.net

whatsnewfm is a utility to filter the daily newsletter from
freshmeat.net

The main purpose is to cut the huge newsletter to a smaller size by
only showing items that you didn't see before.

The items already seen will be stored in a database.  After some time,
the items expire and will be shown again the next time they are
included in a newsletter.

If you find an item that you consider particularly useful, you can add
it to a "hot" list.  Items in the hot list are checked for updates so
that you don't miss anything about your favourite programs.




Debian packages are available here (it's already finished):

I'm going to look for a sponsor on -mentors.
