Hi i'm trying to host my blog on Google App Engine (Google quality & free ...) i looked everywhere for a solution.
I love jekyll project but since it's developed with ruby i can't host it on appengine.
I found hyde project ( which kind of python implemented version of jekyll) i'm thinking to use it on appengine, Are there anyone who's already using it on google appengine ?
The most possible solution is "microlog", it's a Wordpress like python implementation on GAE. jekyll is not very suitable for GAE applications, because it's workflow is Write-Generate Static Files-Publish. On GAE you cannot access the filesystem, so it's not very easy to have such a framework.
PS: if you like, you can generate static pages and store them in the database, but I cannot see the point of doing this than just store data in db and render them on the fly.

Please which payment api/toolkit is most suitable for Google app-engine platform. I found Google check-out SDK which seemed really nice but its not available for use in my country (US and UK only). I also found PayPal X toolkit which is very cool but it supports just PayPal card transactions. Are there any more suitable ones that can be widely used?
I'm using stripe on my app engine app. I was impressed by how easy it was to implement and its array of features.

I've been trying to find out of its possible to access Apple's iCloud calendar from a web application.
Does it support CalDAV or any sort of web API? I can't seem to find a clear answer for this.
iCloud uses CalDAV. A quick Google search returns this hint for determining server URL info for use with iCal on Mac OS 10.6 -- but once you have that info you should be able to use it with any CalDAV client.

I am putting together a little site run on Google App Engine (python27 + django + webapp2). The objective of the site is to serve paid for video tutorials, much like lynda.com.
I'm trying to find the best (and cheapest) way of keeping the videos behind a paywall. In other words a customer is only able to view the videos on my site and if they've paid a subscription.
I've considered simply putting them on GAE, however the recent price increases have made me reluctant to do so and I was wondering if there were any other solutions available?
Cheers,
J
You need to authenticate users: implement your own login system or use OpenID (federated login).

I'm currently using Silverlight Bing Maps SDK for my project. I was just wondering is it possible to use SDK for free if my imagery (map images) come from OpenStreetMaps? Or in that matter, any other (free) map imagery provider.
You can use Bing Maps for free (whether you're using OpenStreetMap data or Bing Maps' own data) so long as you conform to http://www.microsoft.com/maps/product/terms.html
Assuming it's for a commercial application, this basically means that you're limited to 125,000 sessions or 500,000 transactions per year. Any more than that and you'll have to have a licence. These limits don't apply if you're an educational/not-profit user, although there are some other limits on volume of geocoding requests etc.
Note that, just because you're using OpenStreetMap data doesn't necessarily mean that you don't need a licence - loading the map control itself counts as a "transaction", so if you do this more than 500,000 times in a year you'll still need to be licensed if you're using it for commercial purposes.
If you're not sure, try emailing maplic#microsoft.com
