Re: [Proposal pending] Improve the calendar
 
I would like to have two things in the calendar:

1. Ability to set a calendar item as "private" so that when I sync the calendar with Outlook the item would be visible to others that see my shared calendar (so that they know I am busy) but they could not see the details of the item. If I remember correctly, in the long MFE thread it was stated that this could be technically possible but the feature was not implemented because of the "design decision" or something like that.

2. A "work week" view in addition to "week" view. This means that only days from mon to fri would be visible and hours from 8 am to 17 pm. This would make it easy to check the free and recerved hours of the work week in one glance without the need to scroll the calendar. I think that there should be enough screen real estate for this kind of view.

when selecting the date and time from the scrollable selection, i would like the selections to be loopable, i.e. when choosing a month i can scroll 12 -> 1 -> 2, instead of having to scroll all the way back. same thing with dates and times.

I would like to see this as well. I suspect that this is a general UI issue and not specific to the calendar.

Added my solution to have HAL9000 integrated into Calendar.

Also, +1.

I'm afraid I con't do that Dave. ;)

As long as it doesn't mutate into ORAC, it's good. It's certainly another feature to look for down the road.

(Though I worry about people who want to send an automated greeting: if you send me a birthday card I want to think you at least thought about me, rather than set your computer to do it. ;) )

2. sort notes newest to oldest not the other way around

one feature that i'd love to see and seems to be glaring by its omission is the ability to send/forward on calendar items via sms, this is something i'm sure i've had on my last few nokia phones

Would we be better to collate the improvement ideas in a wiki page and point the calendar team at it (I note that calendar bugs, and I've added a couple, don't get delivered to anyone in particular but rather to the generic maemo bug address)?

I noticed (from here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=549012&postcount=8) that the calendar backend seems to be open source. Is this something that could be beneficial for some of the improvements suggested in this thread? Or do we always have to make changes to calendar itself, not just to the backend?

Calendar backend is capable of things which calendar is not capable to set (or even show properly).

Could you give some examples? I am not sure that I fully understand which tasks belong to calendar and which to the backend.
