This would be an excellent candidate for migration to OpenACS 4, if you or anyone else is interested. While ETP is hackable into a wiki form, I know there will be folks out there wanting to run sites with more standalone packages (ditto news).
Since you've used ad_page_contract and the db api backport, a part of the work necessary for the package to operate in the OpenACS 4 environment is already complete. It would be easy enough to rewrite it to use the Content Repository, I'm sure.
Any takers? An OpenACS 4 version of Jerry's RSS support module showed up oh, a week or so after he announced it ... it would be cool to see this phenomena repeated if anyone has time!
