Here is the way i come to the idea of implementing some org-appt gateway. For appointments, i use both diary and org-mode. I use diary when the appointment in not obviously related to any project, and i use org-mode (just adding a time specification in a timestamp) for appointments that are project-dependant. By the way, note that diary is able to handle complex appointments like the one you describe. For example, APPT1 is for every first tuesday of each month, and APPT2 is for every friday starting from 12-12-2006: %%(diary-float t 2 1), 19:30 APPT1 %%(diary-cyclic 7 12 22 2006), 14:15 APPT2 I like the way appointments are displayed in org-agenda, but i lack some appt related features - such as warnings or the display of the remaining time in the mode-line. So i think it would be nice if the following task were recognized as an appointment : *** Cours "normes esth=E9tiques" SCHEDULED: <2007-01-09 mar 17:00> ^^^^^ For now, i need to add some extra entry to the diary file if i want Emacs to warn me before such a scheduled task. Hence i cannot avoid redundancy. Best regards, PS: i also use Google Calendar. That's precisely why i started to add time specification in timestamps! Now org -> iCal format -> Google Cal is able to send me text message before an appointment. But Org is my primary interface - not Google Calendar... --=20 Bastien
