I’ve been actively working on Desko the past few days and have come across a nifty little gem called GMailer. It is a hacked GMail interface written in Ruby. This would be a perfect tool to get the GMail plugin for Desko up and running. The only problem is that GMailer doesn’t really work right. I’ve been hacking away at it and it seems to me that responses it is communicating with GMail aren’t quite accurate anymore. The latest code was published in Septembet 2005 so I don’t know if anyone is working on it anymore or not. I posted a forum message and I’m just waiting for a reply. I’ll probably end up joining that project to get it working again for them so that we can use it in Desko. GMailer has a lot of code that probably still works for the most part so there’s no reason to reinvent the wheel here.
