Hi to all,
there is another important project: akonadi-googledata.
I package it for Fedora users (it is in the stable Fedora repository) and I 
don't know if it works on windows.
http://blog.marionline.it/linux/fedora/pacchetto-akonadi-googledata/
http://blog.marionline.it/en/linux-en/fedora-en/packages-for-akonadi-
googledata/

Akonadi-googledata and libgcal was the first project to create an akonadi 
resource.

I try to make in contact (sorry for my English...I don't know if you can 
understand this expression...) the two upstream and I ask to them to merge 
the two project to create one akonadi resource written in C or C++.
The project you have cited don't collaborate really much in libgcal library 
and in akonadi-googledata. And the developers of libgcal and akonadi-
googledata doesn't have really much time...

Google provides a great free python library to interact with his services. 
I think the most easy and quickly way to create a powerful akonadi resource 
is to write it using python.

I create the first python akonadi resource, just for exercise and for 
example. You can check it on github:
https://github.com/marionline/pyvcarddirresource

Now I want to create an akonadi resource written in python using google 
library for google calendar but I don't have really much time and KConfigMX 
for python doesn't help me to create the configuration interface of my 
resource...After the configuration mask is complete the development of the 
resource is more easy and quickly. And should work on windows too...isn't?

P.S. sorry for my bad English...
