I am so stoked that I got the Gmail contact downloader written!!! YAY, it works sweet. It was way too hard to get my head around PoCo and OAuth. I think that we need to publish a simple example of this that works and that can get people started out on the right foot. But, it works good, it is solid and uses the Zend api library. I think that I will rewrite it using so that I can more easily adapt it to Yahoo and Twitter.
