One drawback of the package is that it doesn't work very well, at least on my machine many commands fail. Another one is that it seems not to have moved a lot for years. But it _can_ list my calendars, meaning that it can authenticate and have some sort of interaction with google's servers. Maybe interfacing with that would not be too hard? One repo here: https://github.com/jaalto/emacs-epackage--g-client (it is also in el-get). /v -- Vincent Beffara On Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 17:19 , David Engster wrote: > Google has announced today that they will shut down their CalDAV API in > September, since hey, everybody's using their own protocol anyway. > org-caldav will then cease to work with Google calendar.
