Import your Google Takeout (etc) data into your solid pod so you can keep it and use it with Solid apps
Google allow you to take the data you have on Google Plus and similar things end export it at the Google Taekout website.
You select various sorts of data, then ask for it to be delivered in .zip file fomat or .tgz format. Google then
does it in the background and send you an email when it is ready with a download link.
(You can also ask for it to be stored in various places you control, but not yet solid pods,)
- You click on the download link on your computer, and get a zip file (or a .tgz file)
The goal of this project is to take the file you downloaded and convert it into an interoperable form for solid apps you may want to use.
Wha you can do on your computer of course is:
- Double clicked on the zip file to unwrap the files onto your computer's file system.
- Explore the files on your computer.
The goal is to be able in future to
- Upload the Zip file onto your solid pod by dragging it onto a folder's green '+' con
- Run this code to to find your own existing solid assets such as contacts and photos
- Use it to copy from your takeout archive file into your contacts without replication.
- Ideally, if you have already imported the data that copy will be eft, and just new stuff added.
Things which we are looking for:
- A complete spec of Google Takeout, etc (A LDP graph shape would be ideal)
- The best vcard parser to use
- The best JS ical parser to use
This as an MIT licensed open source project... contributions are very welcome!
including taking over the whole project.
