Request for comments, Save and Read Calendar files in vcal format

[Ulrich Hopp]

Hi,

at the moment I can't help Pawel with the calendar problems because I can't 
save my business calendar entrys to the phone ( Nokia/win2000 problem).
( in my privat calendar I have only  a few entrys ), but there is a Gnu 
Win2000 program called outport, which can export Outlook calendar entries to 
vcal format.
But there are no functions in xgnokii to read these entries from a file or 
save them to a file.

So I'm thinking of implementing these functions .

Solution 1 could be :

Writing a plugin for korganizer, which connects with the help of gnokii to the 
phone and synchronizes the phone entries with the korganizer

Advantage :   ( I didn't dig to deep into it, perhaps I'm wrong and very naive 
here ;-) )
- all needed function for import/export are present in korganizer
- may be its easier to write a plugin

Disadvantage : 

- you must install kde ? ( not every one likes this)
- you may have problems because in my case the 6310 initialization doesn*'t 
work very well ( Nokia problem ). With xgnokii you only start when you got 
the phone initialized

Solution 2 :

integrate this function in xgnokii using the libkcal

Advantage :

- you can make use of the functions of libkcal
- you are not leaving xgnokii

Disadvantage :

- you need the Qt libs, license problem ?
- you must integrate the libkcal some how into the source tree

any further comments ?

regards Uli
