Simple format for batch import?

Working on migrating from a google group to askbot forum, and trying to find the best format to convert the data to so that I can import it.

All I need to keep are the messages(with poster, and message text as well as the parent message if applicable) and the users (name and email)

Are there any simple formats/tools I can use to import this data?

I have looked at dumping the database and trying to copy the format but... that was not terribly effective. If there is good documentation for these dumps that I could not find, which would make adding things to it easier, that would also work.

Thanks!
