Gallina: just a GMail based blog

Sep 6, 2004 in Open Source Software

Gallina

A cool (proof of concept) blog tool that uses a GMail account as its backend storage mechanism…

Features
* Uses GMail messages as “entries” (the message star is the publish status)
* Replies to conversations are the “entry comments”
* Uses libgmailer (gmail-lite project) to connect to GMail
* Uses XML/XSLT
* Is free software ;-) (GPL)

Pretty slick, could be interesting given the fact that most people seem to have an excess of google invites. The site is currently slashdoted so please b
e patient….

Google provides the infrastructure and end-user’s provide the applications. I wonder if this sort of thing was in line with google’s initial intention for
their mail service.
