 * I would like to know if someone is working on the Google+ Publicize component
   now that the API appears to be available. If not can someone show me how to setup
   my machine to access the SVN repository and recommendations on development tools
   so I can help out? (Most of my PHP I do in Notepad++ or just straight notepad)

 * The Google+ API currently provides read-only access to public data. You cannot
   use this API to post to your Google+ profile:
    [https://developers.google.com/+/api/](https://developers.google.com/+/api/)
 * The Google+ team is currently working on a new API that will give you read and
   write access, but it’s not available to the public at the moment. As soon as 
   it is, we’ll work on getting Google+ added to the Publicize feature.
 * In the meantime, you can access our SVN repository here:

 * I’ve been looking into it. And Yes Google states the API is read-only, but further
   on it refers to the method [Moments: Insert](https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/moments/insert).
 * Now I don’t consider my self a developer (anymore {reverse engineering is just
   too difficult and writing “hello world” does not make one a developer}), I am
   more a hobbyist that knows my limitations. I looked at the SVN and was a bit 
   overwhelmed. But based on what I read and what I can tell of the Publicize feature,
   would “Moments: Insert” provide what we need?

 * We looked at this option, and also checked the History APi that is being developed
   at the moment.
    We keep an eye on the development of the Google+ API, and we 
   will post on [the Jetpack Blog](http://jetpack.me/news/) once we can add Google
   + to Publicize!
