Google has announced the Google Mac Developer Playground for open source projects and demos.
According to Amit Singh, engineering manager, and Karen Grünberg, product manager, Google’s Mac team engineers spend 20 percent of their time “developing interesting experiments, useful tools, and just-for-fun software.” The Google Mac Developer Playground is designed as a web site where the Mac community can look for new and interesting open source projects and demos from the Google Mac team.
“You’ll find a variety of projects that we work on, such as Cover Story, as well as our more mature open source projects such as MacFUSE and the GData libraries,” Singh says.
One new demo is Statz, which lets you coordinate your status messages across various IM clients. If you have more than one IM client, “we think this will come in handy,” Singh says.
