MobileOrg works excellent for my task management and note taking needs. However, I often need to find a free slot in my calendar or need to get an overview of upcoming deadlines and MobileOrg's agenda views do not allow me to do this in a sufficiently quick manner. I thus export my Org-Mode files to iCalendar and then import the resulting file to my iPhone calendar via webdav. This works well for most events with the exception of the limited support for sexps in iCalendar export; I tend to use sexp quite extensively for all kinds of recurring events or events that require esoteric date calculations. If sexps work in agenda views, wouldn't it be great to resolve them in a similar manner when exporting to iCalendar instead of using the rather limited icalendar-export-region from icalendar.el? E.g. could sexps with multiple occurrences be resolved into multiple iCalendar events for the next n days? I think birthdays that are captured in BBDB would get properly exported as well. Would this be possible? Ideas? Thanks, max
