A GMail-based blog With 1000 MB of entries

Jean-Luc R. writes "Via mediaTIC blog. Gallina is a GMail blog tool created by Jonathan Hernandez that uses GMail messages as "entries" (so 1000 MB of entries!!), replies to conversations are the "entry comments", uses Libgmailer (gmail-lite project) to connect to GMail. It uses XML/XSLT and by the way it's a GPL software. You can download it there. See the Gallina Demo Blog as for an example."

  1. Google is going to be upset by Seoulstriker · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Google was pissed at third-party tools which check emails. Now I wonder what Google is going to think of a program or script which uses the Gmail email directory as a sort of web-hosting deal. I'm not too optimistic about Google's response. :-(

      Well what response should we expect from Google? Euphoria? For any company, even Google, it would make absolutely no sense to essentially provide free hard drive space to anybody and everybody on the planet. Of course they are not going to like it.

      Nothing disturbs me more than blind loyalism towards some unrealistic and over-idealistic notion of one's nationality.
