Sure.
But I am not sure whether he wants to know the work of an INN administrator
or of a newsmaster.  The last one should also take care about the readers
and provide them with accurate newsgroups and hierarchies.

I think he is looking for a GUI interface to maintain INN.
I believe it is possible to write a basic GUI with Java calling system()
functions as the *news* user.  However, there will always be missing
features so perhaps it is a good idea for a monitoring or very common
actions.
My advice is not to forget how INN is managed with the command line.
