I've noticed there's a significant amount of cleanup and documentation work needed within the Husky project, but I don't mean to cast blame on anyone.

I've just started writing a somewhat detailed how-to guide for setting up an FTN node on Debian and by using the github repositories for both binkd and Husly. My goal is to share it and hopefully attract some geeks to retrocomputing, the world of BBS and FTN networks. I also aim to possibly bring back some former BBS operators who might think this technology is dead and buried, which is not the case.

If you're interested, let me know via netmail and I'd be happy to share my notes with you. Your assistance would be invaluable in identifying any omissions or errors, helping to ensure the document is as clear as possible.

Any help is welcome.

Chris
