Sorry for the off-topic, Lorelei - I'm just curious when feydrutha is adding work by having three separate accounts...
Why have three separate accounts on Google with shared passwords, when you could just have one account each (and associated email address etc) and just create three shared calendars that you can all still access in the same way?

I have 3 different google accounts that I use to share stuff with people.

Upcoming version of Erminig-NG will contain the fixes shown above, plus a big change: instead of accessing directly the calendar database, I will use the published calendar API, shis is the correct way of interacting with the Calendar DB.
SInce there's no python binding to access CCalendar DB, I will write a C++ wrapper library that will be used by Erminig-NG to access easily the Calendaring API. This should be rather straightforward (famous last words), and I hope to get that new version out by this Sunday.

What happens with birthdays from contacts? They are displayed in the Maemo Calendar but I don't know if they could be synced because they are based on the contacts entry.
Do you have any plans to support Google Contacts sync as well? Together with Google Mail IMAP MfE wouldn't be needed to have everything in sync with Google

In general people sometimes have multiple accounts of services for a variety of reasons (like 2 skype accounts for instance) and applications should try to support that, like I think the contacts/conversations app does nicely on the n900. Of course, even without this feature this is still a useful application ;-)

There was also a post (several of them in fact) on the forum with some more information...

Thanks for your work lorelei!
What happens with birthdays from contacts? They are displayed in the Maemo Calendar but I don't know if they could be synced because they are based on the contacts entry. Also MfE has a problem with them and they are always +- 2 days different after a sync
