Hello,
Back in December Barry had mentioned that he was exploring adding nntp (and IMAP) support to the archives, but didn't clarify much further... and I googled quite a bit, and these 2 or 3 posts on the subject is all I could find.:

Hi Barry,
In another thread we were talking about Mailman to web forum options. As Mailman can manage NNTP I wondered whether anyone here had come across an NNTP server for "local" (not usenet) newsgroups ?
Yes. I intend to explore using Twisted in Mailman 3 to provide NNTP
and IMAP access to Mailman archives.
My question is - would this (hopefully? please!?) also include posting support from a newsreader, so that nntp users could also interact with the list discussion(s) using their preferred newsreader? Or was this for reading only?
Thanks,
Charles
No response?

Yep, this hasn't actually been implemented yet.

I mostly imagine this as a read-only service, but if the authentication issues can be worked out, I see no reason why posting via NNTP couldn't be allowed should the list and site admins choose to do so.

No worries - but is it still planned/doable/on the drawing board for the 3.0 (or maybe worst case, 3.1) release?

Cool... choice is a good thing, and I think that being able to provide 2-way nntp access to lists (natively, without any hacks or additional s/w required) would just be awesome.
Thanks for considering it Barry...
