Google Contact Sync Plugin Through XMPP and Google Talk

[Game_Ender]

After some research it appears that Google Talk has full access to GMail's address book. The XMPP protocol allows you to manipulate contact info through the VCard standard. In theory you should be able to use the VCard support in XMPP to sync contact information on gmail. I have not done any testing yet but using the gloox C++ XMPP library it should be possible to implement this. I will update this ticket with more info as the time arises.

http://code.google.com/apis/contacts/ would appear to be a more direct way of doing this.

Since there doesn't seem to be any current effort on a Google contacts plugin, I might be able to work on this.

This would indeed be very nice to have!
