I'd like to get all my newsgroups info from one source:

http://groups-beta.google.com

I don't mind coming here, but I have other languages and other newsgroups
sources that I like to participate/get info from, and it would just be so much
easier and time saving, to say the least.

It's a mystery to me why Google doesn't index news.digitalmars.com. I and
others have submitted requests for it, which they do not reply to. Google
indexes other servers like newsgroups.borland.com and news.openwatcom.org.

I didn't know that.  I will write a d program to send them an email every 3 days
requesting this... :-)  Just kidding.

thanks for the info.

You mean it really indexes the Borland 'groups straight off the Borland 
server, rather than off Usenet as a whole?  And posts messages via the 
Borland server?  This was an important distinction last time I knew - 
borland.* as Usenet 'groups have content that is not on the newsgroups 
on Borland's server, namely everything that was posted using any server 
other than newsgroups.borland.com.  I've argued about this in the past 
(when I was active on some of those 'groups), with its disastrous effect 
that many people are not seeing many of the replies to their own posts.

As long as there is no traffic on D in comp.lang.misc there will not 
be any comp.lang.d.
