So I've been relearning the JIRA customization APIs to implement a simple NNTP service/listener to post/monitor a usenet group with changes to JIRA issues. I'm sure the IntelliJ IDEA EAP folk will enjoy having this available, theres just a few more alterations to the current code I need to do before its "functionally complete", but theres still work to do to make sure it handles scale and heavy use.
The code will also be released under the Apache 2.0 licence shortly.
