How is it better than:

http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/ruby/ruby-talk/index.shtml

Search seems broken, I get 0 hits for my name, but nearly 4000 results
on the official archive.

Ditto.

The name of the poster is not indexed currently. Only message body &
subject are. I believe it's not really needed. I'm pondering if I
should make a top x of posters page, but for now it's more important to
get a bigger set of past usenet messages.

I'm guessing it hasn't indexed many messages yet? I get only two hits
for the word "duck". ;-)

At any rate, I can see how something like this could potentially
evolve into something useful, although I agree with Eric Hodel that
you've got some work in front of you to make it better (for some
purposes) than either blade or the Google Groups interface.

Or Nabble, or gmane, or any of the countless other tools that already
do this quite nicely.
