I guess it's been over a year since we last went around this circle; and
in that time there've been even fewer people using the Xitami support
maliing list.

FWIW:
- there is some talk inside iMatix of setting up a web forum for support
  of various products (including Xitami); I'll prod some people and see
  if anything happens

- Mailman (the mailing list software we use) includes support for gating
  to/from Usenet; so we could do that

- If we wanted a "real" Usenet group (ie, likely to be carried on lots
  of servers around the world) someone would need to do the work to
  persuade people it should be created -- with less than 500 subscribers
  to the Xitami mailing list (including inactive ones) that might be
  hard work.  We could host a imatix.* Usenet hierachy, but it wouldn't
  get the same advantages people normally associate with Usenet.

You can also reach it via the URL in the footer (there's a link on that
page).
