## leafnode-1.11.8p0 – USENET software package designed for small sites

## Description

    Leafnode is a USENET software package designed for small sites, with a
    few tens of readers and only a slow link to the net.

    It consists of several programs, three essential ones and several add-ons.

     - Leafnode is the NNTP server.  It talks to the normal news clients,
       and stores readership data.

     - Fetchnews is the NNTP news-gatherer.  It looks at the readership data
       Leafnode stores, and selects what groups to pull news from.

     - Texpire is responsible for deleting old and uninteresting news.  It
       deletes all discussion threads that are old and not recently read.
