+[I] An NNTP server for small leaf sites.
+
+[T] Leafnode is a news server, suitable for small, limited-bandwidth sites with
+[T] only a few users (and useful for offline news reading). Leafnode keeps 
+[T] track of which groups are being read and downloads only articles in those 
+[T] groups. Leafnode has been designed to require no maintenance and to be easy
+[T] to set up.
