This looks like a very interesting new module - do you have a target date for an initial release?

I think I have made some good progress on the module. So far, the module can:

  • Authenticate itself with Google Base using your credentials.
  • Submit nodes into Google Base. This includes any CCK text fields.
  • Edit nodes that have been submitted to Google Base.

Here are features that need to be done:

  • Delete nodes from Google Base
  • Better mapping between CCK fields and Google Base fields.

At that point, I think we could have an alpha release. I expect this to happen within the next 2 months.

Then, these are features that I would like to add, but will take longer:

  • Integration with Views 3 for querying both the Google Base snippets feed (all public items from all users) or your own items feed (only items that you have submitted).
  • Integration with CCK file fields for attaching files to Google Base items.
  • The ability to 'import' content types. Google requires and/or suggests certain fields for certain types of items. This feature would allow you to automatically create a content type that maps perfectly to an item type in Google Base.

Wow, I am very interested in this module. Could really use it this month... if at all possible.

You may check out the current module from CVS and help test it out.

An update on the status of the module:

* Nodes are now deleted from Google Base when they are deleted in Drupal.
* Some integration with Views 3. The items feed can be queried. Basic fields like title, published date, modified date can be displayed.
