DESCRIPTION

The OurNet:* modules are interfaces to BBS-based groupware projects, whose platform was used in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan by est. 1 million users. Used collaboratively, they glue BBSes together to form a distributed service network, called 'OurNet'.

Please refer to each individual modules and script's documentation for detailed information.

CAVEATS

The HOWTO documentation and BBSCOM API is still lacking; we'll be very grateful if anybody from the BBS circle could contribute to it.
