 Ok. But I'm still not clear. Which app are we talking about in which
distribution?
 I dont see this in SHR/FSO. Or am I missing something?

I think what Vladimir meant is "birthdays in the PIM application", not

 Though that shouldn't be difficult considering the data (for the tasks app)

A quick note here ... libraries for syncml are really crap! But I
managed to establish a connection to a sample Syncml server; no proper
data exchange yet; but at least the connection (using libsyncml python
binding) ... so there is some hope, that it is possible in general  ;) 

Hopefully, coming back here soon with more information  :)

By the way since last week "dates" and "tasks" are available in the SHR

So if you are running Shr unstable, just do

I think it is a 'must have' feature if you do not want to re invent the
wheel. There are so many different clients for syncml servers (PDA, palm,
windows mobile, outlook, thunderbird, webpages, etc.) . Syncml is about to
sync both ways.

I think we must let the user choose. This is the power of free softwares. At
the moment, opimd does not handle calendar, tasks and notes (I can be wrong)
and -no offense to the developpers- we wait for it for quite a long time. If
someone has some good news.. On the other side, pimlico already has a
calendar and tasks application. I do not think pimlico is outdated but still
in early stage.
And opimd is not used by all the distributions. For example, Hackable:1 uses
the pimlico suite to handle the contacts.

I am really glad you and your brother work on this very needed feature for
the openmoko ! Thanks a lot

About PISI - I am one of the developers there and I am happy to read about all

As it looks to me now, there are different options, which probably have 
different priorities. I have been pretty much busy with the Contacts part of 
PISI; my brother will now start pushing the Calendar part a bit more (after I 
will have done some refactoring on this side by the end of this week). First 
task there for him will be proper ICS support. There is a Python library

come up with a proper implementation.
For the contacts part, I would need some more input for requested data sources. 
For now, we support QTopia address book (SQLite, e.g. OM 2008.12), LDAP Server, 
VCF files and Google Contacts. Awaiting are:
- opimd support
- SIM card support
- SyncML / Opensync support
- Online VCF support (just download / upload the file)
- Pimlico / Evolution

My impression is, that SyncML / Opensync is my next task. I was searching for 
some libraries already; and I found two implementations at a very early stage - 
I will go and test them soon.
The Evolution / Pimlico stuff - I thought would be somehow outdated already on 
the Openmoko!? The upcoming 2009 will be opimd?? Well, last time I looked for 
it, it had not progressed much behind the initial idea.

First, because I didn't look very hard to find something close enough to what
I needed :-)

What I needed was a protocol to synchronize a set of "things" organized in
folders, with the ability to store the same "thing" in several places, in
realtime if connected but with an offline mode, with some kind of access
permissions, and suitable both for atomic messages like calendar event and
realtime flow like voip.

None of syncml nor opensync fits this description.

Starting from stracth is very unprofessional, but being bound to nothing is
a virtue when you just want a prototype to test new ideas.

Re: Tasks Client for FR

2009-04-10 Thread kimaidou
Hi,

Please correct me if I am wrong (I am just a user): I understood there was a
rewrite / adaptation of the pimlico dates and tasks to fit the look and feel
of Openmoko distribution. So the applications openmoko-dates2 and
opnemoko-tasks2 were put in the OM distributions and repositories.

But
* I think/heard that these openmoko versions were not the last version of
the original pimlico project or do not follow the evolution of the pimlico
project (I may be wrong). Now the version number of pimlico is 4.6.
* Now, you can install the openmoko versions only on OM distributions. On
SHR, I tried to use the Angstrom repository as I wrote in the wiki :
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Pimlico , but It is not a correct way because
if you use this repository under SHR without breaking the installtion. So I
opened a ticket in the SHR trac for this...
http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/376

The best would be someone with the knowledge, time and will to compile it to
an "simple" ipk and then put it on opkg.org

On debian, you can easily test them with
apt-get install dates tasks

About syncing and data from the web:
* with the last version, I think you can open a ics file from the web
* the 4th tool from pimlico is about syncing.. I hope it is just a matter of
time http://www.pimlico-project.org/sync.html
* the projet PISI would like to implement the support of ICS files. If so,
pbm solved ! http://www.opkg.org/package_191.html  I am in contact with them
to speak about pimlico
* the data format of the pimlico suite is based on the Evolution project

withy the well-known syncml protocol
http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/syncevolution?s[]=syncml  So someone must be able
to adapt / port it on the moko ?
* you can copy / paste the ics files located here :
~/.evolution/calendar/local/system/calendar.ics
Ok, this is a very rough way, but it is ok if you only modify

For now, it has no alarm support. Personally, I do not care, but people
might.

As a conclusion I would like to say that I use my freerunner as a
professional mobile computer, and I am really missing simple ways to read /
modify /sync the calendar and tasks and contacts !
Why not propose a cofundos project to help developper improve pimlico (and
its sync tool) and PISI ?

I hope many will answer and propose their vision / tips / softwares

PS : I tried gpe-calendar, wich seemed great, but it does not handle big
calendars witouht crashing (it becomes slower and slower and then you can do
nothing more

I'm working on something [1] to sync my own datas all over
the place. There is no task application for now but the
underlying synch protocol being agnostic it should be feasable.
This is still in an early stage so new ideas are gracefully

2009-04-09 Thread kimaidou
Hi all

There is the great project pimlico which provides "dates" = calendar and
"tasks".
http://www.pimlico-project.org/dates.html

These 2 apps are great because :
* they use the evolution data storage way. As evolution has got tools to
sync data with the syncml protocol, it must be easy to sync data
* you can install dates and tasks on your desktop
* they are user friendly, load fast and do the job correctly

But
* I cannot use them on my SHR because they are not in the repository. I
tried the workaroung described here :
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Pimlico#SHR  , but it does not always work.
One time I broke my installation (Perhaps I did not get rid of the Angrom
repo before doing an opkg update)
--> Please test and report
* There is at the moment no tool for syncing 2 ways. One you can do is copy
the calendar.ics files (in ~/.evolution/calendar/local/system/calendar.ics )
from the desktop to the freerunner, and back, but it is not real synchro
* The tool Pisi : http://www.opkg.org/package_191.html could be a good way
to sync, but It does not support ics files yet
* the project Pimlico "is about" to developp a synchronisation tool based on
opensync, but I do not know when it will be out :
http://www.pimlico-project.org/sync.html

Anyway, I tried a lot of different calendar applications on debian based or
SHR (dates, gpe-calendar, osmo, calcurse, etc.), and dates is the one I
prefer.

Re: Tasks Client for FR

2009-04-08 Thread c_c

Hi,

try the apps by knj - there's a google calendar app (should be adding other 
backends later), and an e-mail client, with support for imap

Thanks - will try those.

Hi,

there are a couple already in the om repos (one by qtopia, on be om), but 
there's no way of getting data from an external source 

Well, the qtopia one can't run on FSO easily. The OM one was the gtk one (I 
think hackable has it too) - don't know what the current status is - but that 
should be ok.

IMO the ability to sync is something that is desperately needed. 

I am actually looking at doing something with opensync - but haven't found the 
time yet. Anyhow - with most of the code bits needed already done for intone - 
let me see what I can come up with. I think an elementary based implementation, 
with a sqlite backend and the ability to sync with a desktop will be really 
handy.

Then of course - going ahead - we need an email client and a calendar app (with 
the ability to sync to a desktop). Ubuntu 9.04 is doing some nice things with 
notification. Maybe everything can be put together. Will be plenty of work 
though!

there are a couple already in the om repos (one by qtopia, on be om),
but there's no way of getting data from an external source

imo, tasque would be great, if only it cached data locally.

failing that, i'd be tempted to use rtm, and get my tasks as an rss
feed, cached locally in a feed reader
