Answer
No, if you mean NewsGroups implemented using NNTP - if you mean discussion forums, you might be able to use the CommentPlugin and/or the discussion forum addon (see Plugins web). You can run a separate NNTP server on the same host as the TWiki server, and have some integration - I wrote an RSS feed generator for the Newsportal web interface to newsgroups, meaning that you could have a TWiki page showing new messages in newsgroups, through the HeadlinesPlugin taking the newsgroup RSS feed as input. NewsGroups has more about this. -- RichardDonkin - 15 Sep 2003 TWiki is a platform for web applications. You can build discussion forums that have elements of newsgroups. See DiscussionForumAddOn for one example. -- PeterThoeny - 25 Sep 2003
