What do you mean "description"? This is usenet, where the only
description is the group name "comp.sys.palmtops".

That description is made up by Google. Google has tapped into this
existing Usenet news group and offers it, and all or most of the other
Usenet news groups, to the world as "Google Groups", but they did not
create nor do the control this or any other Usenet news group.

When a group is created, the propagating control message can include a
tagline, usually known as 'Newsgroups line' to provide more information
about the intended content. Go have a look at
http://www.usenet.org.uk/newsgroups.html - each of the comments below
the group name is derived from this 'newsgroup line'. It is in the
gift of the group creator, normally.
When your reader downloads a list of groups from your server it should
include this description against the group name to help you choose.
