I have written down some ideas on how the news system might benefit from the 
web, and (particularly in the area of public annotations) vice-versa.  It's a 
bit long to mail out, but it's here:

   <a href="http://info.cern.ch/roeber/webnews.html">
     http://info.cern.ch/roeber/webnews.html
   </a>

For those who don't read news because of the volume, I'd note that the WAIS-like 
selection system I propose would allow much tighter filtering than is currently 
done.

I'd love to hear any ideas, feedback, etc.

Frederick.
