To: "Ville M. Vainio" 


on my recent conversations with frank, and thinking and brainstorming over
it... i have got this idea of adding an application that would allow users
to sync with their google docs especially since it now offers online storage
for any kind of file( and not just office documents). It would be nice to
have it included in the framework. what say ??

also..i have been having some issues of accessing gmail inbox mails... can
somebody brief me over accessing inbox feeds through the google inbox feed
API... which authorization to be used( OAuth or ClientLogin API) and wether
we can access the mail feeds without being an administrator of a domain or u
need a domain for it ?? ( i personally have studied these things but am a
little confused and wanted things to be cleared out before i submit my final
proposal)... awaiting reply soon.
thanks !

refer to this example to know how qt can be used to  communicate to a web
service through requests through its QNetworkAccessManager class...in this
case a REST client has been made.

QtGui is the user interface API, QtCore / QtNetwork / etc. provide the
necessary plumbing.

E.g.  QNetworkAccessManager could probably be used instead of libcurl.

Sorry for jumping in here, but the above advice confuses me. I'm not
very familiar with Qt, but from what I see at
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qtcore.html QtCore is a user interface
API. LIbcurl is a multiprotocol file/data transfer library.  QtCore
doesn't seem to implement any API for that.  If networking is needed
for the application then Libcurl is a very good (and widely used)
library for that.

(I am the one who suggested this idea for Maemo).

I'd suggest trying to retain plain QtCore as the only dependency, as
much as possible.  You might get more free functionality out from
libcurl, but it would probably be more fat a dependency than strictly
necessary.

Also, whatever you build in between will be useful for Qt apps in general.

i had a doubt in developing my gapps wrapper, i have two options.. 1 being
to use the libcurl library and the other is to use qt.
i have my experience in qt and currently i am new to libcurl but i sure can
learn it.
i wanted to know which one would be better and reasons for it.
thanks !

Qt was not chosen as a organization for GSoC, so we (maemo.org) will
continue promotion this idea.

The selected organizations will be announced today, after that, if we are
chosen, we'll attribute mentors to the projects in the list.
There's a similar project idea under the Qt organization:
http://groups.google.com/group/qt-gsoc/web/project-ideas

gsoc project 2010 !

2010-03-16 Thread anky
i wen through this idea on the ideas- list


"Implement small applications and corresponding reusable libraries (Qt C++)
for integrating with Google services like Mail (quick read/search without
going through IMAP), Todo:s, Buzz, import opml from Google Reader "

It would be nice to develop an application which can integrate with google
services... i was interested in developing a reusable api for the google
apps and to develop small applications using that and it would also help
future maemo developers to build application using the reusable library
code.
I think that integrating with google apps is a much needed  addition to
maemo and would really help in a lot of further applcations and services.

Would it be nice as a gsoc idea and i was looking for someone to mentor me
for the same...
