Re: [NNTP] New draft for LIST additions (-02)

Hi all,

We plan on releasing a new version of INN in March.

Can we advertise the COUNTS, DISTRIBUTIONS, MODERATORS, MOTD and SUBSCRIP=
TIONS
variants of the LIST command?  I believe the description of these command=
s
are stable and won't change from what is already specified in the above d=
raft.
Therefore, it should not hurt if we advertise them even though they are c=
urrently
described only in this Internet-Draft.


Another question:  can we implement the "Y" and "M" status fields?  Do yo=
u
have any objection about them?
It will allow to have all possible cases regarding how an article should
be handled.

   The following table summarizes what usually happens to an article
   posted to only the newsgroup "foo.bar", depending on its status field
   on the news server:

   +--------------+-----------+------------+------------+--------------+
   | Status field | Accepted  | Accepted   | Moderation | Destination  |
   | of "foo.bar" | if local  | from       | needed?    | if accepted? |
   |              | posting?  | peers?     |            |              |
   +--------------+-----------+------------+------------+--------------+
   | y            | Yes       | Yes        | No         | foo.bar      |
   | n            | No        | Yes        | No         | foo.bar      |
   | m            | Yes       | Yes        | Yes        | foo.bar      |
   | Y            | Yes       | No         | No         | foo.bar      |
   | M            | Yes       | No         | Yes        | foo.bar      |
   | x            | No        | No         | No         |              |
   | j            | No        | Yes        | No         | junk (if     |
   |              |           |            |            | filed)       |
   | =3Dother.group | No        | Yes        | No         | other.group  =
