Gnomecal was already orphaned once, and may be again in the future. Last I fiddled in the code, it was pretty buggy in a number of areas. Why do you think that it (and not Evolution, or the KDE calendar, or plan, or remind, or something else) will be the dominant calendaring app in Linux? And why does it matter? > This gnomecal also easily handles repeating events, events which > repeat only a finite number of times, exceptions to either of these > kinds of repeating events, and a variety of others, all by pointing > and clicking... What it doesn't handle are floating holidays or things like the DST switch. That's one reason I don't use it anymore. -- Alan Shutko - In a variety of flavors!
