Proposal
Develop a website that is completely file-hosted by gmail. Introduction Using free domain names, such as geocities.com, create a basic home page but all necessary files, i.e. jpg, gif, js, swf, must be stored in gmail account. Since the increase in gmail’s storage it would be shame to let all that space wasted on some junk mails. The object to this project is to be the first to utilize abundant space provided freely by google. Furthermore, this gives a chance to look though TRAP17’s past postings to find utilities that are necessary for this task. This project, perhaps, will heighten google’s interest in TRAP17 for your innovative ways to use google’s service, thereby, leveling up TRAP17’s search ranking in google’s pages. Methodology
You may use post such as mine (shameless plug) to complete your task. You are, however, not limited to using just the information found in TRAP17 posts. Whenever you complete a task to overcome your difficulties, please be sure to document your progress. Footnotes Pending an approval from admins and other mods, you may post your complete work in TRAP17. Your post must be in detailed description with all appropriate tags and sights. And as always the full copyright rules and TRAP17 TOS are enforced, so be sure to include bibliography of sites you derived your idea/codes. If the documentation is not approved by admins and other mods to be posted here, please include the full disclosure on your project website. Conclusion Prize! A prize knowing that you may be the very first person to achieve such task. A self-satisfaction knowing that you have implemented what no one else has attempted and big congratulations from your TRAP17 peers.  And, of course, chance to show off your coding abilities on the flick of a dime!200

That does sound like a very good idea, but I have never seen anyone able to access a GMail account as a webpage before. Unfortunately I do not have time to complete this task but it would be interesting to see how people achieve this. Good luck to anyone attempting this!

We have a winner!
Someone beat me to it! I was sooooo close... Pending on webmaster's consent, the programmer or I will post the link. It's 100% hosted by Gmail and only thing is not Gmail related is the domain name and a single instruction to call the rest of homepage files. Thank you rvalkass for inviting evilguru to TRAP17 forum. I can't wait until I have the source code. |

QUOTE(evilguru) I have made a simple test site, where everything is hosted off of the Gmail account. You can 'see' it here: http://www.dcrez.co.uk/create/gmail/gmail.php?q=index Hope you like it evilguru is our newer member. You can PM this user for further details. Simply, amazing! Would you mind if I post your link to this forum? QUOTE(evilguru) Please! The system now seems to be working almost perfectly (apart from .zip files, which I am working on). If they want to test it they can send an email to: project.website@Gmail.com with an attachment (eg an image) then they can go to: www.dcrez.co.uk/create/gmail/gmail.php?q=<subject> where <subject> is the subject of the message they sent.

Well, if you need alot of extra space for free this is the way to go! It seems really time consuming though. Since someone did host a site on their gmail account there is hope!

I sent an email with a picture of a dog as an attachment to project.website@Gmail.com and titled the subject as test_dog
You can see the result by typing http://www.dcrez.co.uk/create/gmail/gmail.php?q=test_dog or simply clicking on it. |
