CVS edit link for Gerben Spil

I would like to create and maintain a module that implements an API to Google Docs functionality. At Triquanta Web Solutions we have developed a module that incorporates Google Docs into Drupal for a client. This module allows our client to share documents with their clients and lets their clients upload documents into the Google Apps account of our client.

I have searched the projects on Drupal.org and found one similar project (http://drupal.org/project/drupalgapps), but it lacks as of yet the possibility to interact with Google Docs. And if I understand correctly it only allows users to connect to their own Google accounts, whereas our solution would allow both user<->Google as application<->Google possibilities. Furthermore, the code we have now for our client already implements uploading, downloading and creating documents as well as folders.

We will have to generalize our code into an API which will allow other module developers to create their own applications that make use of Google Docs functionality, but we also plan to create example modules that show just how to do that. We also plan to support both version 2.0 and 3.0 of the Google Documents List Data Api (http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/3.0/developers_guide_protocol...), with an admin configuration page enabling the administrators to determine which version and which document types to support. This will make it usable for normal Google accounts up to Premier Google accounts through the configuration settings of the module.

If this motivation is in any way unclear or if there is more information wanted/needed, please feel free to contact me at gerben@triquanta.nl.

Hey Gerben

I am one of the maintainer of Drupalgapps project. The project from this very discussion : http://groups.drupal.org/node/20128.

The Drupalgapps project is a started with vision to integration of all Google Apps and provide an API for other module developers to add more modules, hence act as an Umbrella project for Google Apps integration , from Google Accounts ( provisioning API) , Docs, contacts, etc.

I, with discussion with other community member at that point did so , because there have been previous efforts to integrate each seperately, but most of them in the end are modules with no release or no further development, hence I tried to bring all Google Apps developer under one roof - "Drupalgapps project"

I would suggest you create Google docs integration module as a Sub-module of Drupalgapps. If you wish and you don't have any problem , I can put my efforts along with yours to Integrate you module with Drupalgapps project, as a Sub-module. That way, things would be under one roof, and organized and also gain momentum.

If you think, above suggestion would be ok, then lets sit sometime and discuss the integration issues. That way you could be co-maintainer for Drupalgapps too.
