    Is there a simple solution to have nntp articles sent to rss somehow?
    Doesn't even have to be the full article, just the notification that something new has been posted in a local group.

    I wanted to have a small notification with maybe the author and the
    subject line to notify people that a new entry has been posted in one of
    the local or topic-related newsgroups.


    You could set something up with Leafnode and scanning the incoming spool
    for "any files larger than (timestamp of last run)".

    in the end I used https://politepol.com to create an rss feed from a web portal that is connected to our local groups. This now gets announced in
    our IRC channel so we get a notification when someone posts about
    related topics on our forum (or related global hierarchies). Not ideal
    but works.


    Cool set up!
