RBBS is a bulletin board system with Web interface. Users of RBBS can post and response to articles. As the principal purpose of RBBS is to be used as such communication system as BBS, it is useful for individual use and for one-to-many communication. The following are features of RBBS.

Accessibility
Articles is structured into chapters, paragraphs, and so on in the text with XML. The appearance of articles is defined with style sheet. Since document structure and presentation are separated, transmission of information corresponding to various needs in the Web environment is attained. Moreover, because Wiki-style format is supported, you can write and edit articles easily.

Floating Threads
When a response is attached to an article, the order of the article becomes the top of the page. Since articles to which responses are often attached are displayed in an exhibitionist manner, users can catch up popular topics easily. Moreover, because each response is only by one line, lighthearted communication like chat is taken.

Atom Syndication
In order for users to check new articles and responses easily, Atom feeds are delivered. Using a news reader supporting Atom, users can check some news site and RBBS at the same time.

RBBS is available on Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X, and Windows (Cygwin). Other UNIX systems are also. As RBBS is implemented with the C language, no environment for running a scripting language is needed. RBBS is a free software licensed under the GNU General Public License.
