ideas for gnome calendar

["Brian J. Murrell" <gnome-list-in interlinx bc ca>]

I had a thought or two for gnome calendar.  Until there is a server, you
really have to keep gnomecal running if you want to be notified of
events.  Kind of a waste of resources don't you think?

I was thinking that gnomecalendar should put reminders into cron/atd
instead of hanging around to do the reminding itself.  The at job would
call up gnomecal (or have it open a window if it is already running) in
"notification" mode.  Some of gnomecal could be carved out into small
programs that could be called from atd to perform just the reminder
stuff.  Or gnomecal proper could be invoked in a "reminder mode".

Thots?
