Hi,<br><br>Please correct me if I am wrong (I am just a user): I understood there was a rewrite / adaptation of the pimlico dates and tasks to fit the look and feel of Openmoko distribution. So the applications openmoko-dates2 and opnemoko-tasks2 were put in the OM distributions and repositories.<br>
<br>But <br>* I think/heard that these openmoko versions were not the last version of the original pimlico project or do not follow the evolution of the pimlico project (I may be wrong). Now the version number of pimlico is 4.6.<br>
* Now, you can install the openmoko versions only on OM distributions. On SHR, I tried to use the Angstrom repository as I wrote in the wiki : <a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Pimlico">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Pimlico</a> , but It is not a correct way because if you use this repository under SHR without breaking the installtion. So I opened a ticket in the SHR trac for this... <a href="http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/376">http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/376</a><br>
<br>The best would be someone with the knowledge, time and will to compile it to an "simple" ipk and then put it on <a href="http://opkg.org">opkg.org</a><br><br>On debian, you can easily test them with <br>apt-get install dates tasks<br>
<br>About syncing and data from the web:<br>* with the last version, I think you can open a ics file from the web<br>* the 4th tool from pimlico is about syncing.. I hope it is just a matter of time <a href="http://www.pimlico-project.org/sync.html">http://www.pimlico-project.org/sync.html</a><br>
* the projet PISI would like to implement the support of ICS files. If so, pbm solved ! <a href="http://www.opkg.org/package_191.html">http://www.opkg.org/package_191.html</a> I am in contact with them to speak about pimlico<br>
* the data format of the pimlico suite is based on the Evolution project <a href="http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/">http://projects.gnome.org/evolution/</a> There are tools to sync the data withy the well-known syncml protocol <a href="http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/syncevolution?s[]=syncml">http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/syncevolution?s[]=syncml</a> So someone must be able to adapt / port it on the moko ?<br>
* you can copy / paste the ics files located here : ~/.evolution/calendar/local/system/calendar.ics<br>Ok, this is a very rough way, but it is ok if you only modify<br><br>For now, it has no alarm support. Personally, I do not care, but people might.<br>
<br>As a conclusion I would like to say that I use my freerunner as a professional mobile computer, and I am really missing simple ways to read / modify /sync the calendar and tasks and contacts !<br>Why not propose a cofundos project to help developper improve pimlico (and its sync tool) and PISI ?<br>
<br>I hope many will answer and propose their vision / tips / softwares<br><br>PS : I tried gpe-calendar, wich seemed great, but it does not handle big calendars witouht crashing (it becomes slower and slower and then you can do nothing more<br>

</div>weren't they re-packaged as dates and something else, and supplied by<br>
openmok as the originals et of applications? we already have them in<br>
the om repositories. but there's no sync, or way of getting data from<br>
the web<br>
