Also Weekdays only, weekends only, MWF and T, TR as options

Great - add those suggestions to the brainstorm. And vote, please.

Calendar without Tasks will be not full solution.

Excellent! yes, calendar and tasks belong together.The whole thing needs a workover.

You might want to check http://wiki.maemo.org/Task:PIM as most of the things people could want from a calendar are already listed there. It's already old page.. feel free to source it to your brainstrom.

I would say that GPE Calendar is closes to good functional calendar (in extras-testing), it has some usability quirks - but in all it is better than bundled one, plus it's sources are available. With a bit of coding & usability love it would kick *ss! Maybe someday (tm) I'll have time so I'll look if I can make anything of it.. maybe..

P.S. making good calendar is hard and most of tries fail with repeating events

Ok, we made ten votes, which by the general standards means there are some people interested.

The next question is 'what now?'

As I see it, there are two possible solutions:

1) Bundle up all the proposals, pick the most workable and adapt the maemo5 integral calendar appropriately.

2) Set the integral calendar on one side and make a new one (Vre has already suggested the GPE Calendar in testing)

And this is where my ignorance shows big time.

If we want to go with option 1, is fiddling with the calendar something the community can do? Or is it something that requires Nokia to take it on? And how fiddly is it?

If we want to go with option 2, is GPE the best starting place? Who's baby is that? Might they be willing to work with some of these ideas? And if not, might they be willing to hand the project to someone who will?

(And finally, how do we get VRe more free time, since that's the best offer we've had so far... I'm probably too far away to come and do your laundry. )

Hi, I have given thumbs down to http://maemo.org/community/brainstor...endar_in_n900/ not because I'm against discussing improvements to the Calendar but because I don't think that generic brainstorm proposals compiling all kinds of slightly related solutions are the most efficient way to discuss.

It would be more useful to create specific proposals for specific problems. Each problem might have alternative solutions and staying focused in each discussion will help find the right solutions better and faster.

If you look at some of the current "hot" brainstrm proposals at http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/ you will see that they have become a cul-de-sac for diverse proposals, too difficult to manage further.

That's interesting, Quim, because when I asked how to go about this I was specifically told by one of the braimstorm moderators to do it this way. Now I'm even more at sea.

True, there is not a single opinion and an agreed policy. See http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...806#post477806

All you can help discussing and deciding what to do in such cases. We are still bootstrapping this brainstorm as we move forward and new situations arise. Thank you for your understanding!

It just seems a little unfair to down vote the proposal content because it is using a procedure you disagree with but which is currently still being promoted by the mods. I entirely accept your position on how braimstorm works (or doesn't) but would prefer you not to make MY point using MY brainstorm.
