Google Launches Apps Marketplace Developer Community

Google has launched a new community site for one of the projects I worked on, the Apps Marketplace. It's nice to see them encouraging more collaboration among their dev users. Before this community site existed, I wrote some of the Apps Marketplace content on Google Codesite, including the Developer's Overview and Gmail Contextual Gadgets Developer's Guide. That last project was blogged about all over the place right after its launch at the 2010 Google I/O conference (Google Steals Hotmail's Thunder was a particularly fun one). It has been amazing to be involved with helping 3rd-party developers create and sell (or give away!) cool apps that integrate with Google Apps like Gmail and Calendar.
