Comments on: Calendars for netbooks!! http://blogs.gnome.org/sragavan/2009/08/05/calendars-for-netbooks/ My personal weblog on my work in GNOME Mon, 05 Apr 2010 19:28:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Minter http://blogs.gnome.org/sragavan/2009/08/05/calendars-for-netbooks/comment-page-1/#comment-518 Minter Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:54:06 +0000 http://blogs.gnome.org/sragavan/?p=78#comment-518 Srini, Great work! Observations: 1. Calendar as well as journal and notes should be part of the same program or at least be interconnected (i.e. task->email contact->appointment email->task journal->e-mail) 2. FULL-SCREEN button is a MUST!!! for text entry and calendar/task viewing 3. Maemo port is a MUST!!! Srini,
Great work!

Right now I use pimlico-dates as my gnome desktop calender, but this project also looks nice. I hope this is a small step towards splitting evolution up in small applications. BTW: I think that some of Jakubs ideas would help the original evolution-calendar as well. Wow this looks supercool.

Great job thanks for doing it ! That's the sort of calendar many people including myself have been awaiting for. I hope to see it in my distribution as soon as you will have published it. Hello,

I am heartily encouraged that your thinking about small screens. Today I posted about how Mozilla and Thunderbird appear to be going the wrong way with a message pane header that consumes 137px of vertical screen space. When you only have 600 in total that is a disaster. http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2009/08/14/thunderbird-3-on-a-netbook/ Keep it up! Nice stuff!

Baze: I have seen a bit of jana widgets. But currently, my first goal is to get a Evoluion's calendar to be a usable thing on Netbooks, then enhance it with various things, like Jana, Clutter, etc. Jacub/Simon: Very valid point. Thanks, I will look at those, once I have a base project up and running. Right that even the small icon space make huge difference on the netbook screen. Jones Lee: A bit yes, but I merge my code with Evo, and adjust them accordingly. It hardly should be a day/two effort to get it up with Bonobo-less Evo. Btw, I dont depend on the bonobo interface, instead make use of the widgets directly, so I should be harly affected by it. Martin: I just default to 750x500, but It can be shrunk even smaller, the look and feel remains the same. John Doe, Im fully aware of Dates. But its good, but lacks quite a lot things, and duplicates a bit of Evolution's calendar. One of may main goal is to have as less dupes as possible and strive all the energy towards one goal. IMHO Its very important for the success for GNOME. Eric: Those colors are user chosen colors. But I can give the Tango! palette for the user to choose. Sure. All: Thanks a lot for the encouragement and feedback. I would get back here with more updates. Thanks again everyone. Jeff: I should be looking at those surely.
