Hi Nick,
Yup, I think a chat would be a good idea. I'm curious about the
phonegap approach. I'm hoping to download and play with it this week.
To date I have the following *con apps to look at (which includes the
one below):
https://github.com/pygloo/pycon-android
http://wilmer.gaa.st/main.php/giggity.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fosdem-android/
If Giovanni is busy, we can define our own API ;)
>From my brief look at giggity I notice it feeds from an open calendar
format. This could be a starting point in our evaluation of opengap.
Get last years calendar, download, display and then make it available
in offline mode. Then we could see what it produces for iphone,
android, blackberry, etc.
All the best,
Oisin
