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

[From: Jose Manrique Lopez de la Fuente]

Just an idea/plan:

FIRST STAGE (alpha version)
1) Create a pytgtk app that asks the user for its google-calendar
account details and stores them in the device.
2) When internet connection is available (or when user requests it),
it should download ical files. Perhaps it would be better using some
kind of sync mechanism to check updates
3) The app could add the ical files to EDS, or just show them as a list
4) There should be a nice calendar home applet to show this data.

SECOND STAGE (beta edition)
1) Add sync capabilities with phone calendar using opensync or perhaps
funambol. This way is ok for having google-phone-770 calendars synced.

THIRD STAGE (release candidate)
1) Create methods to create new events in the calendar and a way to
sync this changes with google and phone calendar.

Ideas? Anyone already coding this?

Thanks in advance,
