[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Discussion of a possible project - offline calendar project

[From: VLG]

Mathias,

can I suggest also to look at JPilot [1]? It already has a good presence
on desktops, syncs with existing palms and might be a viable
alternative. Written in C, it shurely will require some amount of
facelift to fit nicely into 770's form-factor. It also comes with plugin
framework and some plugins already available [2] (I personally like
'KeyRing' one). 

Plus, some sort of syncing with destop would be required as well.
