Sounds simple enough. Thanks!
* Are you getting category colors to work? They do not for me.
* No way to sync with a PC/Mac, or is there? Or do you keep your GPE Calendar in sync by repeated importing?

Calendar colors work for me, they just don't really work in the preview, haven't played around with categories yet, but in the preview/editing screens, the colors are broken here too.
I am maybe the only person who completely manages his calendar on the N900 itself, so I never even bothered with Outlook (which I don't have anyways), Thunderbird/Sunbird or some Google stuff. So I can't really tell anything about this matter.

Okay, this is what you have to do:
1. Open up default Maemo 5 calendar
2. Select "Settings" on the top bar
3. Select "Edit calendars" (don't know the exact english term for it)
4. Click on a calendar you wish to export, i.e. "Hobby"
5. Select "Export" on the right side of the menu and save wherever you want to. Do this with all the calendars you'd like to have on GPE.
You are done in the default N900s calendar now. Time to go to GPE.
6. Open up GPE calendar
7. Select "Import" from the top bar
8. Go to the folder where you saved your files exported from the default calendar and select the file you want.
9. Now you can either import to an existing calendar type in GPE or you can create a new one on the fly. Please note that a larger calendar database takes quite some time to import and that the progress bar might freeze.
10. Repeat till all your exported data is done.
I really enjoy GPE calendar, so much better than the default solution. Thank you so much for creating the nice piece of software.

The problem installing GPE Timesheet has gone away. If anyone else is having problems please report them here.
The import problem is (in my view) a bug in the Maemo Calendar program export code. I will add a workround in the next release of GPE to ignore the bad alarm repeat interval but, in the meantime, if you get that error when importing a file from Maemo Calendar you can work round it by making changes to the file. Use the following command line to fix the file:
where file1.ics is the bad file from Maemo Calendar and file2.ics is a new file which will be created with the problem corrected.

How do we import contacts from our contacts book to the gpe contact? I tried doing it but it seems like it has to be done individually. It would really be great to be able to simple import all contacts to gpe contact without doing them individually.

The GPE Contacts menu item is called "Import VCard" but, in fact, it will import all the vcards in a file. So, if you can get all your contacts exported to a single file, GPE Contacts can import them. You can also use "gpe-contacts -i" to import a file.
You can use the N900 Contacts app to export all contacts (I recommend doing it in vCard 3.0 format): unfortunately it will create one file per contact. If you let it put them in the default location (the "Exported contacts" directory in your MyDocs directory), the following command entered at the Xterm prompt will import the ones which are valid:
However, be aware that the Maemo Contacts app tends to create invalid vCards (missing the N: attribute).
I suggest that for any files which give an error, but you care about, you edit the file to add the line:
and then re-import that file. Note that the semi-colons are important.
