Doing "google calendar list when,where,title" works for me though (using googlecl that comes with openSUSE 11.3). > However, I have had better luck with the python gdata interface.

I guess one could also use google calendar completely without googlecl or gdata, since you can point google at an .ics file to import it into google's calendar and Eric's script already handles the other way (google->org).
