 Wo> I haven't been on a BBS in years but I've been having a blast setting up th
is one. Thanks digital man for all the hard work

hear hear!

 (probably doors). Tips for a starting place
 Wo> would be greatly appreciated.

i'm just starting the same thing, but im no java(script) programmer at all... yo
ur best bet would be to take a look at the repo itself as well as the wiki. 

as far as doors, you can do something simple that just uses standard STDIO i/o u
nder linux (not sure about *dows), for example, i have a simple python script i 
wrote that pulls weather station details from my work network (i work for a comp
any with the largest private wx and lightning detection network in the world) an
d just pulls the data from one of my local stations.

i have to now start working on how to get the "location" of the user so that i c
an customise it a little and also work out an ansi screen for it :D
