New Google Web Service API
You could write your own [link|http://www.google.com/apis/|Google Web Service] client, put it up on a site and access the groups that way. You would be limited to 1000 queries a day though. Also, I don't know if they provide the groups via the API.

D'oh! I guess not. From the FAQ:

2. Can Google APIs be used to access Google Groups? Image search? Directory search?

No. The Google Web APIs service can only be used to search Google's main index of 2 billion web pages.

New Interesting idea though.
Write your own 'API' using [link|http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/|Snoopy] as a php-html-proxy... A useful thing, methinks. I'm going to look into adapting my 'mscompetes' joke page into doing this...

*chuckle*

Hey - [link|http://www.microsoft.com&item%3DBGates@www.imrics.net/mscompetes/index.php3?http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/gomscom.asp?target=/|the thing] might be useful after all!
