gnomecal categories (was: Re: contributing to gncal)

["Dirk-Jan C. Binnema" <bulkmail dds nl>]

Hello,

A quick status update:

I've been busy for some time, but this weekend I've spent some time with gnome-pim categories. Categories turned out to be harder to implement than I thought, but I think I've done something like 70%  (with another 70% to go ;-)

I hope to be able to finish my patch this week. This patch features:
- Fully functional and clean 
- Only 'stock'-categories ( though custom cats infrastructure is there)
- No pixmaps yet ( shouldn't be too hard )
- So far only for todo-list items ( calendar items shouldn't be too hard)

When (if) my patch is accepted, I'll start working on the additional features.

Dirk-Jan.
