Today I finished the first beta release of a software project called 'Korallenriff'. Korallenriff collects newsgroup postings and emails from different accounts and stores them in a database for further usage.

You can find the project website here.

This is a project I wanted to write since about 1,5 years (I finaly started programming a few days ago). It is unfinished and the release 0.2.0 is a very first beta version but more features will follow in future!

What can you currently do with it?

This heavily depends on creativity ;-) Here are some ideas:

• Create a mail account and subscribe it to a mailinglist. Let korallenriff fetch the mails and store them in a database. This results in a mailinglist archive. You now can access the database (and display contents) using a web interface (you could develop one in PHP).
• You could write a blog software that makes mail postings possible: You set up a mail account where you send postings to and korallenriff fetches them. Your blogsoftware can then display the postings on your website.
• *** will add received ideas here ***
