I have the same migration problem.
I still use Google Calendar to share appts with my students. Sometimes they
mark an appt on certain dates etc...
My migration problem is threefold since I migrated from planner-el too and
I use remind a lot. I like wyrd for remote operation and I had remind -
diary - ical and planner-el very integrated.
I posted an email about this topíc a couple of weeks ago.
I sincerely think that org-mode would be improved from using remind. At
least until org-mode have all the calendar niceties that remind provides for
quite complex periodic dates and "strange" holidays and non working days.
Remind is quite a powerful calendar parser.
Wyrd (a remind interface) is a clean interface to see appts and schedule
even remotely.
Org-mode however exceeds remind, wyrd and planner-el as tool for
organization as a whole.
An interesting aspect is that we can use the "remind path" to automate some
of the conversion from ical (eg Google Calendar) to org-mode.
The ical -> org-mode could be done using the longer path
ical -> remind -> diary -> org-mode
Via
ical -> remind: http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/*ICal2Rem*
remind -> diary: Sacha's rem2diary
diary -> org-mode: (setq org-agenda-include-diary t)
the reverse path could be directly
org-mode -> ical
.reminders.org.deadline
.reminders.org.scheduled
However to add all my appts in
.reminders.org.deadline and
.reminders.org.scheduled
from inside org-mode
I think that
org2rem
from Bastien
is lacking a few features such as timed reminders and generates a non
completely compatible .reminders files
I have made some corrections and org2rem is working better now but it is
still lacking to add appts with timestamps (ie with no SCHEDULED: or
DEADLINE: tags)
If someone is also interested I cand send my version of org2rem
I hope this helps,
Daniel
