ᐧ Sven said <<< Hi Andy, I think we have all the building blocks to do this (ZnClient from Zinc, HTTPS from Zodiac, OAuth2 from Zinc-SSO, JSON from NeoJSON), so that is good. But there are a large number of Google APIs ( https://developers.google.com/gdata/docs/directory), each of them containing lots of functionality. There are deprecation warnings on some of them. It is of course necessary to first fully familiarise oneself with each of them and the application they connect to. When some basic calls work, the next step would indeed be to make nice object models for each of them. Some people on this list have built these kinds of API before (like Sean's Flicker Client). I also think that once one of them is done, others could be implemented by many different people, like students.

Yup, I totally agree. We have most of the pieces, and we just need a project to assemble them. My suggestion is that we focus on the Spreadsheet services first. This seems to be the most flexible/useful one. Once that is working, we could develop the other packages. So, would anyone like to take up this project? Cheers Andy
