hey all,

Just wondering if anybody has any ideas of how to aproach a problem.

Amongst a few freinds on the google 3dwarehouse we decided that what
we really wanted was a website where we could set up some competitions
between us creating some 3d models. We want to vote on each model (one
vote per person) and then present it in an easy way. Also we want to
have a profile/showcase area where people can select a few of there
best models from the 3dwarehouse and pull them to our site.

We want is to check if a user has a valid google account, so that we
can pull there models from the 3dwarehouse. and I was wondering if I
could acheeve this with an authsubrequest. Although the scope of
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse won't work all we really need
to know is there account url. i.e. 
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/search?uq=16810510730920464846
for mine.

I did have limited success trying to adapt gmail-lite(http://
sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116304), an open source
application for logging into gmail, and then using the name from that
to search the 3dwarehouse. However this won't always work as with the
google groups, people can have alternate nicknames. Perhaps the only
way to aproach this is to get people to name there 3dwarehouse page,
but this obviously has security issues of people claiming other
peoples work.

I'd be gratefull for any ideas.
