Wim,
I read the discussion from the Tools list and it seems that the ECF team
should be brought into this discussion; I didn't see any input from them
(although Scott Lewis was supposedly copied at one point). I'm copying
ecf-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx to this now, so hopefully they will provide their
perspective about whether or not this kind of thing would fit under the
ECF umbrella.

I'll follow-up in a separate message with specifics about the newsreader
itself.
