nnslashdot actually seems to be working, but for some reason or other
it seems to be a bit finicky about how the HTML is fetched.

(setq mm-url-use-external t)
(setq mm-url-program 'wget)

does the trick for me.

Try entering the "server buffer" by pressing ^ in the group buffer.

Then there hasn't been any updates to nnslashdot since 0.13.

Perhaps the problem is that Gnus isn't able to fetch the Slashdot
pages?  I use

(setq mm-url-use-external t)
(setq mm-url-program 'wget)

at the moment, which seems to work ok.
