Hi guys,
I had a thought today, which I found echoed in this post to the user list:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=5430539&forum_id=12899
This post mentions WebDAV, which I have no interest in, but my thought was that there are lots of web scripts out there which parse .ics files which sit in one place on the server and output appropriate (X)HTML. Updating the .ics file is simple enough to do using sitecopy, another FTP client or whatever you use to update your remote webserver, but my though was that this is naturally part of the sync operation. (Sadly, this is all theoretical for me because I haven't been able to get the SyncML plugin working with my P900 - any tips appreciated.)
So, why not make a really simple plugin so that you could create a `evolution > remote ICS` pair or even a `IRMC/bluetooth > evolution` pair along with a `IRMC/bluetooth|evolution > remote ICS` pair? The `remote ICS` plugin would hopefully be easy to program since all it would need is for the user to give it $FTPADDR, $FTPUSER, $FTPPASS, $ICS_URL and a few SSL/SFTP options if you were feeling ambitious!
What do you guys think? I would love to produce something myself, but am as good as clueless atm: am doing a Computing Science M.Sc. next year so hopefully I can soon start helping out on these sorts of projects rather than just using them and shouting from the sidelines!
Best wishes, Matt
