Woogie's Usenet part aims at GNKSA compliance in the long run (unless the sky falls before "the long run" -- ok right, guess it won't be implemented) though there's still much to do before that. The Usenet network code ought to work with both net_server and BONE.

Woogie's PGP-integrated EMail part is un-matched on bebits, far as I know (otherwise I wouldn't have got onboard such a long coding trip to create a tool I can use !) The EMail part is about reading/writing only, that is, no network code at all is implemented; i.e., you need a mail daemon! (I'm using postmaster myself, but it should work with the [replacement] Mail Daemon or MailIt! as well, I assume). As to PGP itself, the integration has been tested with the PGP5 compiled binaries from bebits: I'm using it daily in this configuration. Though I intend to compile myself a more recent version when I have time (not anxious to -- those binaries come from a trustworthy bedev, but anyone, lemme know how other binaries fare if you have a chance).

I can think of 2 types of users who could be tempted by Woogie instead of more polished apps from BeBits:

• you need a GUI front-end for PGP, to send encrypted Emails, and the couple PGP GUI tools on BeBits don't fit your needs.
• you're not afraid to experiment, and the scoring thinggy appeals to you.
