Sounds like this may partially overlap with what the Online Desktop team
is doing.  You may want to contact them and make them aware of your
project.  They might have code you can reuse.

Contact Marina Zhurakhinskaya mari...@redhat.com or Owen Taylor
otay...@redhat.com.

 EDS provides data primarily for mail,contacts, calendar, memos and
 tasks. It would be good to move the libgdata code from EDS into a
 separate project, say 'gdata-c' in order provide entire set of Google
 services. You can probably create a new project in svn.gnome.org for the
 same.

I'll take that as a yes then. :)
I'll continue hacking away at it, move it into GNOME SVN and see if I
can get a patch together to migrate e-d-s to the new library.
