Gervase, I suggest asking around the FlyerTalk forums (after searching there for relevant previous discussions).

That said, I happened across your blog after searching for information about Web-forum-to-Usenet gateways and finding your discussion about the Mozilla groups. I agree that it's terribly frustrating to deal with all these disparate forums when Usenet would work so much better. People in your previous discussion compared to public adoption of Web-based e-mail, but I think they didn't look at the way I do: that a better comparison would be a hypothetical situation in which in order to read e-mail from people who use one Web-based service, you'd have to log into that service's Web site.

Ah, looks like the AirPower Wiki is now here. Great :-)
