Use Google Tasks in Thunderbird?

Use Google Tasks in Thunderbird? I'm using the GDataProvider along with Lightning to access my Google Calendar from Thunderbird. However I'd also like to have access to my Google Tasks as well. Does anybody know if this is possible at present?

Google has released the Google Tasks API in May 2011. There's a getting started guide on the Google apps developers blog. The GDATA Provider developers track the issue but it hasn't been resolved yet.

Not currently possible. However, a response from Google in this support thread directs people to vote for this feature in the Google poll soliciting ideas for enhancements to GTasks. (The poll is open until 19 Nov 2010.)

"You can view the google tasks page itself at: mail.google.com/tasks/ig?pli=1

Is there a thunderbird extension that would allow you to display the contents of that url in the sidebar? If so, that is all you would need. No need for Google's API."
