In any case the ideal tool would be one which could do both things: provide NNTP access *and* Web access, with the same level of interaction and features for both types of users.
Agree. This is the approach I advocate as well, and having participated in (as a community leader) and set up a number of online communities over the past 20 or so years, fragmentation of the community is something to be avoided at all costs; providing access in the ways in which people effectively access information is inclusive (rather than exclusive) is always preferred.
Information that isn't usable isn't useful. Maybe a bit of the "blindingly obvious", but sometimes people are blind to the blindingly obvious. :-)
