Scripting Groove

Jon Udell has been scripting Groove Web Services, and posts some interesting observations, along with a couple of code snippets (perl, C#).

It's brain-dead simple. If the forum were a newsgroup or a discussion board, and the repository were a Web-based or local filesystem, these little scripts would be utterly boring. But Groove forums and Groove repositories have interesting properties.
In case you missed it, Udell started exploring these themes in his Script Locally, Publish Globally in InfoWorld a few days ago (thanks for the namecheck!). By my counting, either he's been burning the midnight oil for a week, or it really is easy to code this stuff.
