Yea, I liked it too.. I really like the Hacker News python RSS reader they put out with it. It's better than most, as it actually populates the data from ycombinator.com/rss with text - as the ycombinator Hacker News RSS feed links to the actual web sites and not a text article.

Also, the 24bit color test is SWEET! It like pulses and... is really flipping nice. 

Couple things; there is a github with extras for x84, its listed in the documentation and has stuff like... message areas, automessaging and... some other weather/BBS functions - already available.

And two, it IS open so.. anyone can take it and develop.

I, too, thought it was a nice project. Furthermore it uses UTF8&cp437 so a BBS can look PERFECT just using telnet from the terminal. Thats rad...

For some python master, this is a unique BBS software just waiting to get programmed up to the AWESOME level.
