[ANN] announcing the outpost, a kinda sorta reddit-esque forum

gemini is sorely lacking forums. i glommed this together over the past 
couple days - it's a messageboard / link aggregator with support for 
threaded comments. (i think sose beat me with motm, but always good to 
have two options y'know)

it's a little bit simple. i'm planning on adding support for some kind of 
voting mechanism this week, as well as the ability to edit/append 
to/delete comments. it's more of a hack than a fully functional site right 
now but i'd love your feedback.
authentication is entirely through client certificates, where the common 
name of the cert is your "username". this is obviously not a good 
long-term solution - there's no good way to enforce username collisions, 
for instance - but it works in the meantime. if you're using Kristall 
it'll ask you for a CN when you make an identity. i might make a 
registration system with email verification, but i don't know if that's 
the best way to go about it.
anyway let me know what you think. ideally, on the site itself lol.
