I am now thinking of trying out mozilla calendars (firebird?). I guess that it has a calendar export feature, which I haven't been able to find in evolution. Firebird is a (non-Mozilla) database. Sunbird is the Mozilla calendar. That being said, I'm not sure how easy it is to sync up. If you use the calendar extension (Lightning is, I believe, the new name) for Thunderbird/Icedove (if you're using that as your mail client), there's SyncKolab, which stores your calendar entries as IMAP messages (if you're using IMAP). That places a lot of assumptions on your system, and I don't recall if it does updates particularly gracefully. I know I tried that approach for a little while, and at the time SyncKolab was sufficiently flaky that it drove me to Google Calendar, with which I've been fairly happy. The other function of SyncKolab, synchronizing address books, is still something I lack. (Also, I do not want to have a calendar server running anywhere at all.) Does Google count? If you want to get really wacky, keep your .ics file in CVS, updated remotely through ssh. I don't know if the calendar-refresh issue gets any easier, though. -- Michael A.
