Once again I say that it would be silly to avoid Unicode in a brand new
client. I simply fail to see how full Unicode support can be more
important than almost any key feature of MT-NW or MacSOUP. The only
posts in this thread that have unreadable content for me with MacSOUP's
partial support, are those written to deliberately showcase Unicode
support. That tells me something :-)

Thunderbird (as an example) shows accents and other characters quite 
well.  That's beyond ASCII...

è é ô ø î ï ö  ... ≠ ±

The OP went to some length to show how "broken" clients were with his 
opening sentence:

	I’ve mentioned here before that I’ve been working ...

yet, in the same post, he manages to post "I've" w/o issue in the 2nd 
paragraph:

	I've done my best...

He is being dishonest about there being no Mac solution for usenet:
		"Bring Usenet Back to the Mac"

Why say that when there are several Mac solutions? he's also planting 
false evidence for a non-existent crisis.

By all means make a new usenet reader, but don't fly false flags to 
justify it, or to get people to participate in a fund raiser.

If it's really worthwhile, he should publish the reader and seek 
contributions or license fees.

But, my dear chap, consider the tennis-player Albert Montañés!  Every 
day the poor bugger has to listen to the commentators calling him 
monTARnes — and can you blame them, when his name is spelt wrongly on 
the scoreboard?

(Well yes, because it's their job to get these things right, but that's 
another story.)

I also have a feeling that Stephen Colbert has more going on with his
last name than the common spelling suggests . . . :-)

And it makes no fun to see it unwillingly transcripted to Monta??s
If I use UTF-8 to express something, I dont want my stuff to be garbled 
by a crappy incapacitated software.
It's a matter of politeness to quote correctly.

Even for this poor thunderbird user, those accents come through perfectly.

                          Yep.  They're okay reading too.

Don't need no stinkin' Unicode for Usenet.

Doh!

Thanks for proving the general point, however, Lewis:

Mr. Doc wants everyone to fund his new reader because (according to him) 
there is nothing for Mac in the Mavericks era.

Of course that is plain BS.

While TB and others are not perfect, they do the job fine for most people.

He should develop it on his own and then market it as donation or 
license ware. That's the best way to see if he's "right".

Why?  Is he breaking some kind of law doing it the way he's doing it?  
If you're not going to put money into it because you're happy with 
Thunderbird or MacSOUP or some other outdated, unsupported newsreader or 
quasi-current expensive one that's fine.  Don't chip in rather than 
being some sort of self-appointed arbiter of what he should or shouldn't 
do.  The market will speak sufficiently.  I think Doc has set the goal 
much too high but hopefully I will be wrong and that you can't stop the 
signal.

I've used many and TB fills my needs more than adequately.  I hesitate 
to imagine how much I'd have to use usenet for me to believe TB to be 
not good.

Of course not.  However given that he's presenting with deception rather 
than truth, I'd be very wary.

Claim 1 that he makes:
	"Bring Usenet Back to the Mac"

There is nothing to bring back.  It never left - there are various 
clients available and they do more that enough.

Claim 2 that he makes in an underhanded way: In his first post the OP 
went to some length to show how "broken" clients were with his opening 
sentence which I'll quote here:

     I’ve mentioned here before that I’ve been working ...

yet, in the same post, he manages to post "I've" w/o issue in the 2nd 
paragraph (quoted again):

     I've done my best...

So why did it break in his contrived first para, but not in his other 
para.  Did he forget to insert the widdle bug string?

> The market will speak sufficiently.  I think Doc has set the goal

If he reaches that goal then I hope he delivers for those who pony up. 
The goal he set is more along the lines of someone developing a bit of 
hardware and where some tooling or material orders are needed which is 
usually how these campaigns go.

(Yes I have pledged to such in the past and I got a widget out of it at 
half the retail price).

I interpreted it more as a gimmicky marketing phrase stating that the
application will give Mac users a great Usenet experience. You seem to
be taking it *quite* literally instead. That's fine, I guess, but we all
know marketing slogans are typically anything but literal, factual
statements. So to me, it seems just a little disingenuous to take such a
harsh stance based on such a literal interpretation of a marketing
slogan. And in the end, really, who gives a flying fuck? I'm much more
interested in the actual usability and performance of the final product
than any silly marketing text about it.

With 25 days to go and only $380 pledged, he's not going to make that
goal of twenty grand, and that's a shame.

It probably needs to be announced to a much larger audience to see that
kind of community action.

It may also just be too late for Usenet.  People have become too used to
selling themselves to advertisers for the simple ability to talk to each
other.

Still, I have high hopes that either the right crowd will see the value,
or some entity with a modest budget and a great idea will.  There’s plenty
of time for that to happen.

You may not know this, but the Unicode right single quotation mark
character (2019) that you are so upset about is actually the very same
"smart quote" character that the default Mac OS X configuration
automatically replaces whenever you type the ASCII apostrophe character
in a Cocoa application. Given that his message was posted (and probably
composed) within a brand-new alpha-quality application more than opens
the possibility that the characters appeared due to Cocoa's built-in
replacement mechanism, and may have experienced a use case where some of
the ASCII apostrophe characters did not get replaced with smart quotes.
Why on Earth someone would immediately jump to the conclusion that
something nefarious is going on here is beyond me. Again, it seems
fairly disingenuous to me, and makes me wonder why you are so dedicated
to railing again what could be a net benefit for the Mac/iOS
community. Very strange behavior to me...

It's not about how much you use Usenet but how efficiently your 
newsreader lets you use Usenet. MT-NW was very efficient, TB was not 
(I've tried about five different versions over the years).  Currently I 
am using slrn and am in particular delighted by how scoring works with 
it- I see almost 0 spam messages with a handful of scoring rules.

The available newreaders don't do it to his satisfaction, nor for that 
matter to mine.  While slrn is OK, it is Terminal based, doesn't have 
its own text editor and you have to learn to edit configuration files.  
I've got that tweaked right now to my satisfaction so I don't have to 
spend time editing those for the forseeable future.  But a good 
newsreader aimed at reading the news (rather than looking for binaries 
of various types distributed through newsgroups) and having 
conversations is lacking on the Mac.  There are some outdated 
newsreaders that are years behind the times and as far as I can tell 
many of those run more by luck than by meaningful ongoing development.

That's whatcha got?  Seriously?  And this is evidence of fraud, 
deception and sociopathy?  Seems like a lot of judgment hangning from a 
tiny thread.

I've never met Doc but he is a few miles from where I live.  Thinking 
about programmer salaries around here, he's scheduled about 750 hours of 
development time.  If he's got bills to pay and mouths to feed, I guess 
that doesn't seem unreasonable to me if it takes that much time to 
develop the code, debug it and get it up to distribution quality.  I 
don't want to be one of those interwebs folks who seems to believe that 
if someone else is making a decent living they must be ripping me off.  
I get a kick out of people bitching about $1.99 iOS apps as being "too 
expensive."

However given the relative handful of people still using Usenet, even 
with the existence of Google Groups, I have great doubt that there is 
enough interest to hit the $20,000 mark and that the exercise will not 
succeed because of that.

It's more than efficient enough for my needs.

I launch it.

I visit those groups that are highlighted in bold ('new stuff').

I list by date and read the topics to see what was updated - or by who 
updated them - there are some people I'll read no matter what the subject.

I blast my words out and get into tumbles.  I filter the more obnoxious 
idiots and even the odd thread.

What more would I need.

Note that a few years ago I'd download large files with TB or Unison (or 
XNews for those who remember that OS from Redmond) but I don't download 
such from usenet anymore.  So TB is more than adequate to do what is 
essentially fancy texting.

I guess usenet's not that important to me.  (From the number of posts I 
make you'd think differently).

It isn't much but it sure twigged my suspicious neurons - coupled to a 
$20 ask before committing.  Doesn't pass the sniff test.  Or mine anyway.

I don't begrudge any reward to anyone for any work done.  But the level 
of amount asked by him is more typical of someone who also has to fork 
out for material or tooling or some such.

Further, if the hew and cry to be saved from all these terrible usenet 
apps is so loud, then he'd have no trouble covering it after release 
under a donation/share/license model.

Yep.  I almost launched my own a couple years ago but found a lady doing 
almost exactly the same.

Let me know where you can find competent Cocoa contractors for $27/hour.
:-)  Keep in mind that this isn’t all about just providing the 1.0.0 release
in September, either.  It’s (hopefully) about actually be able to give
ongoing support for a number of 1.x revisions.  If anybody thinks $20K is
too high for the amount of effort required, you’re encouraged to simply fund
or make use of something else.  If Thunderbird is all you’ll pay for, then
that’s all you’ll get.

And that’s why I’m trying to find a path to “free”.

I expect you’re right, which saves me over $15K of future effort chasing a
market that doesn’t exist.  Still, what it costs is just a drop in the
bucket for a lot for a lot of corporate projects I’ve worked on.  It’ll
be somewhat surprising if there is *nobody* with deep pockets that wants
to do something in the cloud via Usenet.

I don't know if you noticed that, but your things are not completely 
looking up. The "l" does not, at least not in Unison.
