Yeah, so about this Google Importer for Leopard business.
I am done with college apps and I am now officially a second semester senior! Theoretically, that means more time for programming.
I have started working on it, and it seems to be progressing nicely. Once it is done, I plan to make it completely open source and hopefully have a plugin architecture so developers can make it search information from any website. I am also planning on dropping Google and switching to Yahoo, since they have a much more powerful API (that also means Google Importer will be renamed to something like Web Importer).
So, unfortunately I still cannot tell you when it will be done. I would really appreciate it if people would let me know if they like the path I am taking. If there is a lot of interest for just getting something out, I would be willing to rush a release that has none of these new features, but works on Leopard. Send pleas and candy-flavored bribes to support [at] caffeinatedcocoa[dot]com, or post a comment below.

I’d love to have a basic version for Leopard right now. It’s kind of amazing that no one has done this yet, considering how incredibly useful it is bound to be.

What about a Scroogle importer instead of Yahoo?
