I'm currently working on a new NNTP server -- so it's not entirely 
moribund ;-).  

For now it is transit only (no readers), but I would like to eventually 
add reader support.  I'd already intended to support both NNTP and IMAP 
access once that happens.

However, given the lack of any way to post new messages via IMAP, I'm 
not sure it would be very useful for Usenet.
