Google Calendar using Dates on the N800

I’ve been spending some time working on Dates recently. One of the new features currently available in trunk is support for creating a new calendar, including using a remote source for said calendar. The screenshot below shows two local calendars (green and blue) and two remote (orange and red): the GNOME 2.17/2.18 schedule and my own calendar from Google Calendar.

    hi, thanks for sharing the information. Just installed the version and I like it. Only I think it takes to much place. Maybe set the different appointments beneath eachother, like google calendar. I think the layout of google calendar is more intuitif…
    But I think it is really great you can now use google calendar :-).

    Nice! Really looking forward to testing the next release for my n770 then :-) I havn’t had much succes with dates before but I’m ready to try it again if it does google calendar.

    This looks really interesting. Can “Dates” read my current local evolution calendar?
    Can it upload those to a google calendar?

    Sorry for the dumb questions, but this app could be just what I’ve wanted for a year or more.

    GCal support is awesome. I’d love to have a fast alternative to Evolution that uses EDS and syncs with GCal. I’m hoping the GTK/Gnome version of Dates is as nice and polished as the N800 version.

    Very nice stuff. Will this run on N770 aswell?

    Another dumb question; what configuration should I use to access my google calendar? Which URL or address is the corresponding one for Data to be able to use?
