Very possibly... I've seen a few muds where there is some
limited integration of webserver into the mud, providing
a few things such as "who" lists and message reading. I've
not seen anything on the sort of scale I'm planning tho.

Hmmmm interesting idea, that one. Not sure how usable it
would be though, how does it work? Player issues a command
and is given a URL to go to do the edit?

I think I'd prefer to avoid this sort of thing. I think it's
enough that people can ftp files and edit them locally
using whatever friendly editors they desire.

I hadn't... I have now. I don't think it's a goer because
(as far as I know) NNTP would not enable the mud to identify
a connection as being a particular player. I don't want
non-players to be able to read or post messages, hence
accessing the boards through the web would require the
character name & password to confirm identity. I don't think
that's possible with NNTP.
