Hi,
I have implemented a couple of prerequisite features for the gnome-panel
clock applet to use Evo calendar.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118913
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119109
Here's the way I see it working for now:
* user double clicks on a date
* clock applet checks to see if appointment_tool is set in gconf and is
available
* appointment_tool is spawned with the date as an argument
* appointment_tool could look something like this
<http://acs.pha.jhu.edu/~mccannwj/evo/Screenshot-appointment-tool.png>
and simply list the appointments for the day that it pulled from Evolution
* Adding or modifying an appointment would invoke the Evolution
appointment editor
<http://acs.pha.jhu.edu/~mccannwj/evo/Screenshot-evo-1.4-appointments.png>
This method has the advantage that gnome-panel does not need to depend
on any new libs and can work with other calendars.
I suppose the appointment tool could embed the Evolution day view
instead of showing a list if that sort of thing is possible.
The next thing to do is to actually implement the appointment tool and
talk to evolution with libcal-client.
Any comments before I begin?
Thanks,
Jon
