Desko has come a long way in such a short time. I’ve gotten the GMail plugin to read and send emails and the interface is pretty functional. I’ve spent a little time getting some JavaScript updates making the look and feel consistant for the tool. It is by no means complete but for now I think I can start the next big plugin, the taggable filesystem. I’m really excited about starting this plugin. It’s definately one of the more critical plugins for the type of functionality that I’m looking for with Desko. My short term goal is to have my resume in the Desko filesystem and be able to attach it to an email with the GMail plugin. This will require me to be able to encapsulate the file using SOAP or XMLRPC and then hook it into the GMail plugin. This is where things will get really interesting for the core Desko code. It will need to somehow manage how these different plugins interface likely need a published API. The API will emerge from the basic email attachment goal. I haven’t spent much time on designing how everything is going to interact but it should be an interesting challenge.
