Rob announced (and Tim reiterated) that NNTP and FTP plug-ins to CS are now available. I don't foresee using them in the immediate future while investigating Community Server, but I will definitely use the NNTP plug-in to track Community Server issues at CS:Forums. A huge flow of communication is streaming through CSF and there's much you can pick up in following the discussion. NNTP is an efficient mechanism to stay, umm, plugged-in.
Check out my Outlook Express screenshot below. After reading through my alt.tv.the-west-wing and alt.tv.deadwood newsgroups I can pop right over to the most active discussions at Community Server. (I didn't subscribe to Forums.Discussions since there's only so much CSI** time available, forcing me to stick with the general, gallery, and blog areas for now.)

Nice work, Telligent Dudes!
