Today I've worked on the backend system that generates the nodelist for
fsxNet. The nodelist is now built based on segments sent in from NETs vs
being based off one master file I was solely maintaining for all NETs.
While this approach is nothing new in Fidonet it's new for fsxNet and is
well overdue as the network has grown and other able and willing folks have kindly helped by running additional NETs/HUBs over time.
For starters we have NETs 3 and 4 sending in segments and I am continuing to generate NET 1,2 and 5. My plan is to work with Solaris and Zazz to get them
up and running as segment contributors for their respective NETs if they wish to do so.
All things being equal the average node should not see any difference in what they get but from an admin point of view it means NET admins can ensure they take responsibility for their segments in the nodelist and know that what
they submit will be incorporated in the final combined nodelist.
My thanks to Deon and Dan for their help and support with this change :)

Been working away on nodelists again today, I think most of the kinks for the changes made are largely ironed out now. Will look to next week to see how
the next automated run on Friday morning works out.
Next up I'm working on getting past stats reports for BinkP and echomail traffic working again and posted to the file and stats echos.
