My google summer of code project. Nautilus: Add support to Google docs

["saunierthibault gmail com" <saunierthibault gmail com>]

Hello,

    I am Thibault Saunier, a computer science student in an engineering school (EPSI Lyon).  I am very interested by participating in the gnome soc 2009. So I have an idea for my project which I am describing in the document I will send for my application. But as you say on gnome website it is better to ask your opinion about the project first. So here is my idea:

Nautilus: Add support to Google docs

• Benefits: Let users handle (copy, paste...) their Google Docs with nautilus. They would also be able to edit them with any word/spreadsheet/presentation processor.

• Requirements: Since I am going to use GVFS, I will use the C programming language (I have been learning this language for 3 years now and can manage with this). I will also use the Gdata API which permit to manage google docs files on client applications.

• Description: Write the google docs support in GVFS. Write code in nautilus to add the possibility to connect to google docs thanks to the 'fiile -> connect to server' dialogBox.
  

    I rode on the Google Advice for student web-page that it is better to send my application document to some people before applying, so if anyone of you is interesting by reading it, I would be glade to send it to you!

Best regards
