kdepim support for google calendar and contacts

[Adenilson Cavalcanti]

Dear friends

The code moved from playground to kdereview implements an akonadi resource for both google calendar and contacts using google data protocol 2.0.

It is a long pending feature request (bugs 125952 and some other related bugs) which can benefit KDE users, bringing it closer to available functionality of other desktops.

What works:
- contacts: retrieve/add/edit/delete/query-by-updates (sync)
- calendar: retrieve/add/delete/query-by-updates (sync)
- user account is stored in KWallet
- network proxy (defined on desktop preferences)

Some video demos:

or on youtube

What is missing:
- support for hosted accounts
- support recurrent events

Since the idea is to move this akonadi resource (and some others) to extra-gear, this is why I reported to this list.


Best regards
