Hello,

I'm trying to do the same work, and I have already a read only access to 
google contact data, so basic parsing of atom using the XML class from Qt. 
It's working and the code is reasonably simple.

Google data are only a subset of what kabc handle, and I'm now thinking about 
how handle all the data from Kabc which will require write access to google 
data. If you want, we can try to collaborate on this and share code, but we 
should discuss that in private first I think.

You should look at Qt Libraries, it contains class to do http and xml parsing, 
which seems to be enough to access google data.
