hi Matt,
Carsten accepted a patch of mine a while ago that allows you to do stuff like the following from the agenda:

"i d RET 09:00-09:30 meeting with Joe"

and the time is extracted from the text you enter, if you set:

(setq org-agenda-insert-diary-extract-time t)

this is super, stephen= thank you.
had some difficulties with google's timezone handling bu= t those appear to be fixed now.=A0 seems to be woring perfectly!

for= a real two-way sync to work with this method, I think we need access to ui= d's of google calendar events.=A0 If I read the documentation properly,= the underlying gdata-python library doesn't support uid queries.=A0 So= I filed an enhancement bug:
http://code.google.com/p/gdata-python-client/issues/detail= ?id=3D444&q=3Duid
maybe someone with a better coding sense can i= mprove it; in any case, we can all follow its progress at that url.
