Re: [Opensync-devel] Fwd: Google plugin for opensync

[Chris F. <cd...@fo...>]

Hi Quentin,

Thanks for your message... I'll reply to the list, in case others wish
to join in.

I guess you could say that I'm the latest in a line of maintainers
for the google-calendar plugin.  I'm interested in getting opensync
0.39 working for personal reasons.  I'd like to see opensync continue,
and I think 0.4x is so close to being useful that it would be a shame
to drop it now.

The primary issue is lack of ported plugins, and I'm working on that
slowly.

I think I might be the only developer committing code at the moment, though.
And slowly at that!  But the 0.39 engine is useable, and arguably better
than 0.22.  If the plugins were up to date, I think we could release it,
and get more interest from users and maybe developers.

I haven't followed Akonadi too closely.  Does it have the same range of
syncing abilities that opensync 0.22 has?

As for adding tasks support to the Google plugin, that would require
support to be added in libgcal, and I don't think it's there yet?
If libgcal had that support, I'd be interested in updating the plugin
to support it.

Adenilson, does libgcal support tasks and I just don't see it?

- Chris
