I am probably partially repeating myself from our private conversation, but here is my understanding: * An "appointment" is an event with undefined (at least in the UI) participants, e.g. I can create a new appointment to discuss this specific terminology problem with you, or I can create an appointment that I must meet with the local GUG on Wednesday evening. An appointment can be recurring, and can take a whole day -- for example you can create an appointment that marks a whole day as a holiday or something special. * A "meeting" is an event with participants and an organizer, much like your counter-argument that this smells too much corporate (it really does). The organizer can change every detail of a meeting (and Evo has a mechanism to inform others semi-automatically); participants can change only certain details. The "RSVP" thingy is relevant only for meetings, but not for appointments. IOW, a meeting is a special form of appointment where at least 2 persons meet and the other can be notified (and confirm/decline) about the event. There are "meetings" that are specific to the proprietary backends (Exchange, GroupWise) -- this only adds to the confusion as they probably have slightly different semantics. Perhaps it would be a good idea to ask on the Evolution list, although I have the impression that some Evo developers read gnome-i18n and are likely to shed some light when they find the time. _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
