Bret: "Tucows' Skydasher. Terrific idea."

If you have signed up as a partner, you can funnel your feature requests through the Start Beta newsgroups at nntp://news.r.tucows.com in the tucows.beta.start.* forums.

If you have saigned up as an end-user, you can funnel them straight to me via "start@beta.tucows.com".

Newsgroups?!

You are kidding, right? Just make a Blogware blog.

Actually - there is one - beta.tucows.com/Start - problem is, blogs suck for many-to-many discussions. news.r.tucows.com is a hack that marries Phorum (web based) and Papercut (nntp based).

I had hoped to be able to launch the Start beta discussion groups on our shiny new discussion server which features NNTP, email, web and RSS subscription options, but it just wasn't in the cards.

The whole point of the new discussion system is not to enforce one particular messaging paradigm (and their attendant limitations) on our resellers. Check back in about a week :)
