Inappropriate?I too would like an API for Google Groups. Here is my story...
I live on Bainbridge Island near Seattle. We have a volunteer group who helps the parks department build and maintain hiking trails. Here is our web site: www.bainbridgeislandtrails.org. People want to be on the e-mail list but they don't want to have to create an account somewhere. We don't want a discussion list, we just want an e-mail list for announcing when the next trails meeting is and only a handful of people can send e-mails to the list. The web site is currently using Dada Mail for the e-mail list but I am not super happy with the usability of that. I would use an API for Google Groups to allow the web site to subscribe and unsubscribe people from the group without requiring the user to have a Google account.
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?you dont need an account to subscribe, they can just email the subscribe address, or you can put a subscribe box on your site, in the settings > general "Get a promotion box for your website"
