A decent Calendar

[wakeboarder]

I can't figure this one out.

How come Google can build a Calendar app that rocks in no time and the entire Linux/OSS community haven't been able to build one single calendar in all these years worth the name?

Yeah yeah I know about Evolution, Lightning etc but I just hate them...poor functionality, lots of bugs, etc etc

Have you tried Kontact? I've got it setup to sync my calender between 2 computers via ssh, it syncs with my treo, and does a nice job with email too.

It is ultra-stable, it hasn't failed me once.

5 minutes:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

int
main (int *argc, char **argv)
{
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *calendar;

gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (window), 6);

calendar = gtk_calendar_new ();
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), calendar);
gtk_widget_show (calendar);

gtk_widget_show (window);

gtk_main ();
return 0;
}

If you like google's calender so much, why not use it? Even if you're not always online, you could use google-gears to still use your calender. Not sure if gears is ready for the calender yet though, but if it isn't it should be soon.

Have you looked into Rainlendar (http://www.rainlendar.net/)?

I use Sunbird with the google calendar extention and the ics feed. It works like a charm, and i have an anywhere, anytime calendar.

I can't get the google calendar extention to install cause' it says I need vs 0.7 but the one in the repos is 0.5 and doesn't find any updates...
