Google Hangouts adapter for Hubot?

Question

I'm currently playing around a bit with Hubot and want to connect it to my and my friends hangout channel. The problem is that I can't seem to find an adapter. There may not exist one (as google hangouts pretty recently remodeled their api) but I wanted to ask you first.

I've found

• A script for launching hangouts, not an adapter: https://www.npmjs.org/package/hubot-google-hangouts
• Old gTalk setups like this one: http://www.mabishu.com/blog/2013/05/11/setting-up-hubot-with-a-gtalk-account-for-fun/
• And nothing more.

TL;DR: Is there an up-to-date Google Hangouts adapter?

We created an adapter on github which can be found here:

Feel free to add improvements.

There is an API here that you could utilize to create a hangouts bot.

And then a bunch of projects that use this service which I haven't looked into.

• HangoutsBot: Python Whistler Bot
• HangupsBot: Bot for Google Hangouts
• QHangups: Alternative client for Google Hangouts written in PyQt
• bastardbot: A bot to follow and interact with Google Hangouts conversations
• pickups: IRC gateway for hangups (prototype)
• telepathy-hangups: Telepathy bindings for Google Chat via hangups library

We'll be releasing a hubot hangouts client at somepoint and I'll create a link here.
