aebrahim / pidgin-google-contact Goto Github PK

Hi, thanks for this, it's a great idea.  It would really help if there was a 
description of what this is supposed to do.  I'd be glad to help write it, if I 
can figure out what it does.  

Does it add data from pidgin to google?  What?
Does it add data from google to pidgin?  What?

If I have several google accounts I use via pidgin, will it update both?  Will 
it only update them with the contacts that pidgin associates with that account? 
 For example, if I talk to person A1 via account A, will it add him to all of 
my google accounts or only account A?  What about non-google accounts, e.g. 
Skype does it add those to all of the google accounts?

If I IM with someone who is not a contact in any of my google talk accounts, 
where will that person's data go, if anywhere?  Does it create a new record in 
the google contacts?

These kinds of questions made me very hesitant to install this plugin but I did 
anyway because it sounds very useful.  But I'm still not sure what exactly it 
did when I installed it.

So please, either add some documentation answering these questions, or let me 
know you'd like some help and I'll email you and you can explain that stuff to 
me informally (via IM, for example) and I'll write it up for you.

Thanks again, sorry to be nit-picking, just trying to make it more useful to 
more people.

I don't understand how this plugin work. but when I see throgh source code, I 
think.. theres a chance to add WA sync with this plugin. 

can you add it to next feature. Or can you give me a clue how make it happen?

Love the idea. Pidgin has needed this functionality for a long time.

I currently have multiple Google Talk accounts added to Pidgin. One is a 
gmail.com address, and one is a Google Apps (custom domain name) address. I'd 
like to specify the plugin to only use my gmail.com address for syncing 
contacts. I use my Google Apps contact list very specifically for coworkers and 
business contacts; I don't want everyone in my buddy list added there.

This plugin would be usable for me if I could elect to only enable it for one 
specific Google Talk account.

Thanks for the great work!

Hi,
I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 in 64 bits,
I install the plugin into .purple/plugins, I restart pidgin, but I don't found 
the plugin in the list of pidgin...
Is it normal ?

Hey all, great idea to sync the IM-Contacts to Google Contacts. Unfortunately 
it isn't working in my case.
I set the time period to "0". But where do I have to set the information for my 
GoogleContacts-Account? How could this plugin now where to write the data to? 
Would that be an explaination why it is not working?

Best regards
Dave
