Hello,
I am Thibault Saunier, a computer science student in an
engineering school (EPSI Lyon). I am very interested by participating
in the gnome soc 2009. So I have an idea for my project which I am
describing in the document I will send for my application. But as you
say on gnome website it is better to ask your opinion about the
project first. So here is my idea:
Nautilus: Add support to Google docs
* Benefits: Let users handle (copy, paste...) their Google Docs
with nautilus. They would also be able to edit them with any
word/spreadsheet/presentation processor.
* Requirements: Since I am going to use GVFS, I will use the C
programming language (I have been learning this language for 3
years now and can manage with this). I will also use the Gdata
API which permit to manage google docs files on client
applications.
* Description: Write the google docs support in GVFS. Write code
in nautilus to add the possibility to connect to google docs
thanks to the 'fiile -> connect to server' dialogBox.
I rode on the Google Advice for student web-page that it is better
to send my application document to some people before applying, so if
anyone of you is interesting by reading it, I would be glade to send
it to you!
Sounds like a useful project.
What kind of protocol does google docs use for client file access?
The Google-doc API (gdata) is based on HTTP requests. For example to get
the list of documents, you need to send a GET request to
http://docs.google.com/feeds/documents/private/full and it returns an
XML file describing all folders/documents the logged user has on-line...
