+# NewsStats
+
+**NewsStats** is a software package to extract live data from an INN newsfeed and generate statistics from it.
+
+## Description
+
+**NewsStats** stores overview data and complete headers of all incoming postings (in one or more specific Usenet hierarchies) in real time in a MySQL database. This raw dataset can then be analysed regularly, e.g. monthly, for instance in terms of postings per group and month. The analysis results will also be stored in a database which in turn can be used to generate various reports.
+
+The software package is still under development.
+
+It is currently used to generate the monthly statistics posted to `de.admin.news.lists` for the de.\* hierarchy.
+
+## More information
+
+Please see the [distribution page](https://th-h.de/net/software/newsstats/) (in German).
