[O] BBDB Sync (Was: Re: [Orgmode] Re: contact management in org-mode?)
I was searching through the list archives when I came across this old thread. I thought I would point out some recent developments in the BBDB world that might be of general interest to Emacs users. I am the author of a sync tool that can perform bi-directional sync between MS Outlook / Google Contacts / Emacs BBDB. You can set up a sync profile between any folder in one of those with any folder in any of the other two. It's been released to the bbdb-info audience, and it seems to be working quite well (no complaints yet of ASynK eating up peoples contacts.) Give it a shot by visiting the project page at: http://karra-asynk.appspot.com/ Further, BBDB v3 is getting ready to come out of alpha status, as per a recent mail on bbdb-info by the current maintainer Roland Winkler. All in all, there is some action on the BBDB side of the world, and this is a great time for the faithful to return to the fold :) -Karra -- *From*: Darlan Cavalcante Moreira*Subject*:Re: [Orgmode] Re: contact management in org-mode? *Date*:Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:51:07 -0300*User-agent*:Wanderlust/2.15.6 (Almost Unreal) Emacs/23.1 Mule/6.0 (HANACHIRUSATO) -- If there was someway to sync (two-way) bbdb with google contacts all problems would be solved for me, since I can sync my phone with google contacts and Evolution can read/write from/to google contacts (although nowadays I use wanderlust in Emacs instead of evolution, which obviously can use bbdb).

[O] Org Mode TOOD two way sync tool
I am the author of ASynK (http://karra-asynk.appspot.com), a PIM sync tool and framework written in python that works across a variety of PIM providers such as Outlook, Google and BBDB. I am considering extending ASynK to do a bi-directional sync of Outlook tasks to Org Mode tasks. To be able to do this I need a working read/write API for reading and creating TODOs in org mode. *Offline parsers* My first preference is to be able to parser org files without required Emacs - this is the approach that I have implemented for BBDB sync. I considered PyOrgMode (https://github.com/bjonnh/PyOrgMode/network), but it appears unable to process TODOs, or even recurring events. To be able to extend PyOrgMode so I can read and write TODOs, I needed a full description of the format of TODO entries in all its forms. The Org manual itself has this information, I'm sure but scattered all over the place, given its real audience. Can someone point me to some sort of a concise representation, if any, of the org file format grammar? *org-protocol* * * By quickly reading the documentation I figured that org-protocol can be used to create entries, but is there a way to use it to do generic queries like list all TODOs in a specified file, with a particular property value and such? Any help is much appreciated. -Karra
Re: [O] [dev] About a beamer back-end
Nicolas, I'll keep headlines for blocks. But I think I'll introduce a couple of small changes. I really like all the changes you propose. The result would appear to be a clean design. I particularly like the defaulting of headlines to blocks. Unlike others, I am not bothered about *alert* taking the place of *bold* as I never mix the two and, in fact, have alert mapped to bold when using article instead of beamer class.

Re: [O] Org Mode TOOD two way sync tool
Hi Karra, I've been working on org-toodledo.el to perform bi-directional sync of TODO items with the Toodledo server, and faced many of the same issues you raise about figuring out the exact format and grammar of a TODO item. You may find looking at my source useful, either as inspiration, integration, or just understanding what fields are what. The general approach was to build an object that represents a parsed TODO item, and fill that in from either the org-buffer TODO items, or from items retrieved from the server. That object can then be compared to others (one from the server and one from the local buffer), converted to a new org TODO, sent to the server as a new TODO, etc. The components of the TODO item are obviously targeted to what makes sense for Toodledo, but I think they are fairly generic. You might also look at org-element.el which I recently learned about which may also help. I have it on my TODO list to learn more about it to see if I can't refactor org-toodledo to leverage it. It is more geared toward generic org items as opposed to specifically TODO items. ...cj On 6/22/12 2:40 AM, Sriram Karra wrote: I am the author of ASynK (http://karra-asynk.appspot.com), a PIM sync tool and framework written in python that works across a variety of PIM providers such as Outlook, Google and BBDB.

[O] OT: italics [was: Re: take the name of org-class event from heading]
Nick Dokos nicholas.do...@hp.com wrote: PS I cannot tell where you are quoting others and where you are talking as yourself. Can you please use some quoting style? I italicized the quoted text. OK - but that assumes machinery that not all of us are using. I thought that I couldn't see the italics because I was using a font (-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--15-140-75-75-c-90-iso8859-1) that does not come in an oblique variety. But even after switching to Liberation Mono:style=Regular which most definitely *does* have an oblique variety (and I can see it in action in an org document when I say /italic/ - after setting the italic face appropriately), I still do not get the italic effect when I view Enda's mail (and I am viewing the html form of it, not the text form: e.g. the leading question is colored blue). That may be because of the dotage of my mail reader of course (mh-e), so I was wondering if there are any *emacs* mail readers[fn:1] that show the effect? I doubt at this point that I'll ever switch to e.g. gnus to read mail (mh-e and I have grown old together), but I am curious whether something like it handles things properly.[fn:2] Thanks, Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] I presume that something like thunderbird will do it, but I'm not interested in going outside emacs. [fn:2] FWIW, I set up gnus with an nnmh spool and I still can't see the italics, but that may be a matter of missing configuration. BTW, in mh-e, various headers are in italics (To:, Sender: and the addr part of the From: header) - that's probably default mh-e config, since I don't do any customization there.

This is why I gave up on Supercite. Thanks for checking and I agree fully with using a quoting mechanism that will survive the arbitrary travails that a typical mail message goes through, although is generally used for quoting points one responds to - see above e.g. I like boxquotes for things like Info snippets, variable/function docstrings and FAQ entries. That's inconvenient for code that somebody might want to cut-and-paste in order to run however (one would need to edit it to get it back into runnable form), so I use the Message function message-mark-inserted-region to quote code. To go back to the italics question though, the italics is part of the font style spec in the html form of the mail (hence my suspicion that Thunderbird would not have a problem with that message), so I guess the question is if there is an emacs mail reader that will interpret arbitrary HTML markup, the way that T-bird would. I also did the following experiment: I saved the HTML form of the mail (decoding it from quoted-printable to HTML with qprint) and looked at it in Firefox (got italics: no surprise), and in w3m in emacs (with the oblique capable Liberaion font I mentioned previously, which *can* show italics): I get no italics in the latter, so I guess even w3m cannot interpret arbitrary HTML, maybe because the underlying browser is supposed to be text-only, so font style information does not get through.

[O] org-mode failing on org-mobile-push with error
This is the error I receive when running org-mobile-push. I think I only see the error when I open an agenda buffer and run the command. Then it creates two agenda buffers. The normal and the one labeled *SUMO* and I get the error below. What is the reason for this and there is a way to run org-mobile-push and alleviate this error? Saving all Org-mode buffers... done Copying files... OVERVIEW Writing index file... Writing checksums...

Those things are so far »by convention« and I always wanted to sum it up on WORG but did not find time for that. Even with BBDB there are only few standard fields, and a tonne of custom fields. If conventions are only in naming the property fields that is trivially fixed through a config file (something I do already for the BBDB handlers). If you are interested in writing a sync module for Org-mode as well, feel free to contact me. I am happy to describe you how I am organizing contacts using Org-mode. I am a beginner level org-mode user - I was away from Emacs for nearly 8 years and returned to find this fascinating and gigantic new development in the Emacs world :) But if you can document your contact structure, I could potentially implement it some point in the future. Do you use any import/export/sync code with org-contacts? -Karra
