[Kde-pim] Synchronization between Akregator & Google Reader

[Didier Hoarau]

This weekend I've been working a little on a Akregator's synchronization tool.

I've made some samples for the user interface that would manage and
trigger this feature in Akregator. For the moment there is not much
thing. Nothing really works and nothing is integrated yet but I've
tried to think about something easy to use and consistent with other
KDE tools.

Everything is commited on the SVN work folder but here are 2
sceenshots of what I've done: http://did.hoarau.free.fr/blog/?p=7
