However, I am afraid, that this is a one-man-show only (the guy drawing Dilbert!) and he most probably wants to concentrate on interfaces with a high effort-to-users-ratio. And this is where Org-mode is almost non-existent: a moderate to high effort to integrate smoothly with a *very* limited number of users/customers. :-( My question was not only targeted to CalendarTree in particular. More of a general question to get the opinion of others, how they see the need/possibilities for Groupware-features enabled by non-Emacs-based services. Probably, it's just me who wants to send/receive appointments to peers that aren't using Emacs. I used CalendarTree only as an example because it is a service which tries to combine/connect different worlds together which is an unusual goal these days (most people want to lock you in their service instead of connecting you). If the Org-mode community wants to connect to such services, the org-mode community has to initiate it and implement it on its own - I am afraid. Just because - compared to the rest of the IT-world - nobody uses Org-mode. -- mail|git|SVN|photos|postings|SMS|phonecalls|RSS|CSV|XML to Org-mode: > get Memacs from https://github.com/novoid/Memacs < https://github.com/novoid/extract_pdf_annotations_to_orgmode + more on github
