This project is for C#/.Net developers. The goal is to develop standalone program that can take an user name + password combination, and fetch contacts from Yahoo, hotmail, gmail, AOL, and Plaxo.
This is not hard and has been done before, there are free code available in Drupal code base written in PHP.
But I like to get code developed under C#/.Net and ready to go, hence this project.
Input is type of network (Yahoo/hotmail/etc), and username plus password. Output is a list of contacts:
- first name
- last name
- email address
Simple output in text format, 1 contact per line; or XML.
Bonus for additional functionalities:
- take username + password, send message to contacts on MySpace, Hi5, Facebook (or publish/share a story).
Code must be in C# managed code, compile in VS 2005.
If you are a kickass C#/.Net developer, I have more projects.
