Google

Has anybody bothered to take a look at the Google Ajax Feed API with the intention of using it for Drupal aggregation?

We've implemented client side aggregation for a project being released soon. This gives a similar experience to NetVibes.

If you haven't heard; http://code.google.com/opensource/ghop/2007-8/ and http://drupal.org/node/195913

Congratulations to SilverStripe of Wellington, and Drupal!

Should we bother trying to promote this in High Schools in NZ? How?

The Google Highly Open Participation Contest (GHOP) is in full swing. GHOP is a:

<

We've teamed up with the open source projects listed here to give student contestants the opportunity to learn more about and contribute to all aspects of open source software development, from writing code and documentation to preparing training materials and conducting user experience research.

There are a few issues in GHOP on usability and a several for user interface. Most of the user interface issues are already claimed, but none of the usability ones have any interest yet. I wonder if they are just newer if kids aren't interested in usability, or if the tasks are too vague.

How can we promote usability in the programme? With youths?

Hi Guys,

Assume most of you guys heard about the open mobile platform called Android that google announced yesterday. It's interesting news and while the SDK won't be available to download until next week (Nov 12th), I was wondering what you guys think it might mean for Drupal....

This is just a quick note to let you all know I have created a new project to support the APIs provided by Google as part of the OpenSocial Project. Of course, this is all brand new, so we're not exactly sure how it's going to work with Drupal, but I'm definitely interested in getting you all onboard!

Hey, folks!

On Monday, Oct. 8, myself and Geoff Butterfield of the George Lucas Educational Foundation's Edutpoia site will be doing a tech talk at Google campus in Mountainview. 1/2 hour of this will be me yammering on and on about Drupal and how awesome it is, the other 1/2 will be Geoff demoing the Edutopia site and how it uses elements like CCK, Views, etc.

Well things are wrapping up and I can happily report the public/private uploads are working (more or less)!

With 250% growth and an extremely obvious need for change on Drupal.org, we need to assemble a plan for moving forward.
Opening up the analytics will only help professionals consult better on the design of the site moving forward. Google analytics is an excellent free platform that can be shared amongst many users.

A special email list could be started as well to funnel the reports to. Users could then subscribe to this as well.

Any design without doing this is pointless and is going to be stabbing at the dark.
