How many engineers does it take to write a development article? Apparently three.
Vishwajith Krishnamurthy, Paneendra Ba, and I joined forces to program a client-server application using Desktop gadgets and Google App Engine.
What we came up with is the Question and Answer server. The server sends random yes-no questions to a Desktop gadget client and keeps track of answers. The client can also submit new questions and see a list of the most answered questions.
Writing the app was a lot of fun and easier than we expected. Please read Desktop gadgets and App Engine to see how we did it, and take some time to try out the application.

In the article you mention that using the appengine user library to allow only one vote per question per user is an exercise left for the reader.
I am trying that exercise and it seems I can't get the login to work. I can get the login to display, but when I type my email and password it denies my access.
Is there an example of how to use the user library in a google desktop gadget?
