In this document, a number of popular extensions to the Network News
Transfer Protocol (NNTP) protocol defined in RFC 977 are documented
and discussed.  While this document is not intended to serve as a
standard of any kind, it will hopefully serve as a reference document
for future implementers of the NNTP protocol.  In the role, this
document would hopefully create the possibility for some level of
interoperability among implementations that make use of extensions. 

This document is a product of the NNTP Extensions Working Group of the
IETF.
