Re: How to add custom labels

[Adam Dingle <adam medovina org>]

Hi - I founded Yorba, so I know a little bit about this.  :)  We developed California because we wanted a great calendar application for the GNOME desktop.  When we began development in 2013, we looked at GNOME Calendar, which already existed at that time.  We concluded that it was too buggy and fragile to use as a base for development, so we began an independent effort (yes, written in Vala).

Unfortunately Yorba ran out of funding about a year ago, so California's development stopped at that time.  We'd love to see people in the GNOME community continue its development.

Yorba is no more :-/ and so people are looking for active developed solutions.
No one was willing to pay the developer of Yorba, so they dropped the development and moved on.

It's like very often in Open Source: Luckily there are more than one option for a problem, some have more features, some have less, some a better UI ... In the end it is up to the user, to choose "their" solution.

California is written in Vala, right? Maybe the Gnome-Calendar developer is not familaire with it and started to write his own solution. None is forced to use it.

Best,
Markus

Hi!

I don't even know why Gnome Calendar is discussed on this list. This
list was created for California, the Yorba development, and not for
Gnome Calendar which apparently is a different product.

What really strikes me is why devs invest some much time and effort to
improve gnome-calendar instead of forking california (which can already
a lot more) and continue its development?

There is no week view right now.

Then how I am supposed to schedule the day with it?

That calendar does nothing! It does not even allow to make a time
table, just pile up events.

I agree, as of now, the Gnome-calendar is not very helpful. Besides what
you mentioned, you can't setup recurring events, and you can't invite
attendees, and you can't setup an alarm prior to the event. All very
important features.

I know, the development is early, and they will be included... but good
things take time.

Cheers!

It is so simple it does nothing!

Like a calculator than only does sums, Gedit does better daily
schedules than that.
