What Should Be in a Yahoo Groups API?

Back a few months ago when I asked How to revamp Yahoo! Groups?, I got a ton of great comments.

Many folks suggested that we provide an API. And now that I'm part of the Yahoo! Developer Network, I'd like to dig into that request a bit deeper.

What would you like to see in a Yahoo! Groups API? How would you [like to] use it?

Also, if you're not currently a Yahoo! Groups user, please note that in your response.

re What Should Be in a Yahoo Groups API?

i think it would be better if the API will provide functionalities to integrate the yahoo groups into other website. This is to allow external web applications to query mesages and return either xml or jason format. Not only to query but also to post messages, manage users and query other information such as user list, messages stat, photos etc...
