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:

Github also allows you to download a ZIP archive of the latest code in
each branch.

Regards,
  Graeme
