Bug#176216: wnpp: RFP: newscache -- a cache server for USENET news
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A
Severity: wishlist
NewsCache is a free cache server for USENET News. NewsCache acts to news
reading clients like a news server, except that it stores only those
articles that have been requested by at least one client. NewsCache
targets problems of the current News System like network bandwidth
consumption or the IO load caused by news clients.

NewsCache is released under the GPL, unlike nntpcache (its better
known equivalent) which is released under a proprietary licence.
If nobody else picks up the RFP, I will package it myself, but I'm not
doing so at the moment because the last two times I put in an ITP,
another maintainer got sick of waiting for me to actually do it and
they ended up packaging it instead. :-)
