Knode source code

[Daniel Vrátil]

Hi Sebastian,

KNode did not make the transition from KDE4 to KF5/Qt5, so the last version of 
the KDE4 source code is still in the monolithic kdepim repo here:

https://invent.kde.org/unmaintained/kdepim/-/tree/KDE/4.14/knode

Porting to KF5 might be the first step, although IIRC one of the reasons to 
drop KNode was that it never was even properly migrated to KDE4/Qt4. Note
that even port to KF5 will probably be rather non-trivial task, since you will 
also need to port to libraries that have been split from the monolithic 
kdepimlibs repo and have evolved since.

Note that there is an effort to develop an NNTP Akonadi resource so that you 
could sync and read NNTP messages in KMail - see [0]. If all you want is to 
get an NNTP reader, maybe you could get in touch with Pino and see what state 
his project is in - I think KMail will give you similar experience as KNode 
would, but it will be much less effort to get it to cooperate. It's also 
actively maintained - I'm afraid that there is no interest in the PIM 
community as of now to officially bring back or maintain KNode :(
