Re: Python BBS system?

Hey all!
I am interested in programming a python-based BBS server, similar to Syncronet in its entirety, but with some things lacking to allow for othe software use (ie apache). It will have its own telnet and ssh server, bu allowing use of an internal smtp, web server, and ftp server if a person not want or have an external one.
I just don't want to do work that is already being worked on. So my ques is, is anyone working on anything similar?
Also, might python be a bad choice in languages? I know its not as fast C++, but with some of today's computers I don't think it much of a proble It is portable, almost "write-once, run anywhere" style, but I'm not sure the right choice.
And no, I don't wish to start with someone else's code (like Synchronet). like it a lot, but its not "right" for me.
Thanks a lot for your help!

I think there was Raven Bbs once but don't know if it's still around.

This message has ended, go in peace...
Various people have worked on this at various times, but I don't think anyone has ever produced a working system of any complexity.
If you do this, put it on Github and post a pointer so people can pitch in :)
