I find this boggling (where you will be in the future, and who you are meeting with is surely a privacy issue), but clearly we have different views on privacy and that's double-plus OT. >> Maybe, we should all focus to improve mobileorg. > > I like the idea but won't want to give up the google calendar.

I think the only tricky part is somehow push UUIDs during scyning, and then you'll need an operation to merge an org event and an ical event with different UUIDs and remember the foreign UUID for the next sync. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (NetBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1EfCsACgkQ+vesoDJhHiWsTACfc6zUEG0tOujZ3nm7IEnUeaVt bRsAmwVbYq/ZLDZN1hHxX4UuPidTC4fd =3Nsj -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=-- --===============0482731139== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
