Since GoogleApps continue to be very popular, we have not depricated the
functionality and moved to solely use the allowed iframe sources. Thus,
making it easier to maintain the filters etc. would be a good thing.
Potentially, we should also look into expanding the integration with
Google Apps to make it easier for users to move between the two.

** Summary changed:

- google apps urls change frequently and difficult to maintain
+ Improve the maintainability of the Google integration

** Tags removed: embedded safeiframe
** Tags added: block

Title:
  Improve the maintainability of the Google integration

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The google apps plugin requires a significant amount of upkeep. Google
  regularly change the urls they display to their users, and these urls
  are the ones which get put into the blocks; the users cannot be
  expected to know better.

  Options we have include:
  - move to the safeiframe method
  - use a syndicated filter list
  - enable the filter list to be configurable
  - find an external api which can be updated without requiring us to trigger a new point version

  We need a better way to do this from 1.6 on.
