I can't say for sure how development of slrn will continue, but there
has been activity.  The author claims that he will be putting out a
new release that contains various fixes includeing S-Lang2 support. 
He says after his Master's thesis is done in March:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9756057&forum_id=4003

This isn't to say that I want slrn in the book and not tin.  Fact is,
I haven't used either.  I just want to point out that slrn may not be
dead.
