This is just a quick follow-up on this topic. It was reported that the official XanaNews repository and domain has vanished. The domain name doesn't resolve for some time already. Luckily I cloned the full history of the original repository back in March. Commit history was very slow, so I am pretty sure what I have is still the latest code. Last commit recorded was r373 (dated 2012-12-30). Anyway, I made XanaNews available on Github, so it will not be lost again. Contributions are welcome - just send me a pull request. My plan for XanaNews is to port it to Lazarus so everybody can enjoy a descent GUI NNTP client. Not 100% sure when I'll start this, but first things first.... make the code available in a reliable location, then study the code. You can find XanaNews source code at: https://github.com/graemeg/xananews Github also allows you to download a ZIP archive of the latest code in each branch.
