Is there a way to get a newsgroup (NNTP) interface for the mailman

Yes there is, mailman has NNTP<->list gatewaying facilities (it's
best though not to allow NNTP->list). It'd require setting up an NNTP
server somewhere though.
Yes, I know - RSS, JIVE, Blogs and so on are "cool" - however a
NNTP gateway would be very usefull (either via normal NNTP server
or http://www.gmane.org/) - at least all the mailinglists would be
You can add lists to gmane.org iirc - just fill in their form with
the relevant details for the list you'd like them to archive.
In my opinion, for now gmane appears to be the best option for people
who want to read the opensolaris.org forums via an NNTP client. And
somebody has already gotten them to mirror this list
(opensolaris-discuss) and 6 others. See:
http://dir.gmane.org/index.php?prefix=gmane.os.solaris.opensolaris
The catch with gmane is it's not part of the traditional usenet
hierarchy. Quoting from one of their about pages: "Gmane is basically a
bidirectional mail gateway. It has one single article injection point,
and is organized as a hub around this single server."
