Papercut is a simple NNTP server. Its main objective is to integrate existing web based message board software with an Usenet front-end.

However, using Python, new article containers can be added to store and retrieve messages from various source and formats.

This package contains the following storage classes:
- Phorum web bulletin board (on MySQL or PostgreSQL),
- phpBB web bulletin board,
- PHPNuke/NukeBB web bulletin board,
- proxying another NNTP server,
- simple MySQL database,
- maildirs,
- mboxes.
Please note that Papercut is only a NNTP server, not a full-featured news transport system. It does not handle newsfeeding or other usual news software features.
