Is it possible to get an archive from the groups - so that we could explore ways to take it somewhere more searchable? I did a quick google and I think the admins might be able to get one - @jermolene do you see something like that? If you make me an admin for a week, I'll have a play to see if I can do it and extract what I can. Otherwise there are a few scrapers specifically for GGroups that I can try.
