The only 3 available interfaces for getting at Yahoo groups are: email, 
RSS, and html.  There are TONS of html-scrapers and it takes a TON of 
code to do that work.  I don't envision NY ever providing html-scraping 
(however, if an html-scraper were to provide some kind of library/API 
for palm apps, I would consider accessing it).  The email side of 
things is already somewhat supported by the gmane email->html bridging 
function.  That leaves RSS which will be supported in 4.0 and, in fact, 
is already 99% complete (watch for the update tonight, beta test team)!
