Calendar

Insurgent · 5 Oct 2006, 09:37 PM

I really, really want an online calender. That would make this great service even better.

In the meantime can anyone suggest the best alternative? I have looked at sunbird, gmail and stuff but nothing is quite what I want.

Cheers,

Rob

What's wrong with google's calendar?

Most players in the Calendar market have been beaten out by Google Calendar. I don't think it would be a smart move for FM to compete in that area...

Personally, I find Backpack, with its calendar feature, complements FM perfectly.

I'm a huge Backpack fan, but their calendar is a bit on the thin side, feature-wise. It doesn't have any space for text to be entered as a description of the event, and reminders can only be sent exactly 30 minutes before the event.

If your needs are very basic, Backpack calendar might work for you, but really Google Calendar is quite good at this point (and getting better as it's developed).

The rest of Backpack is stellar, by the way.

I would like to see a basic calander at fastmail.fm.

I don't have any interest in starting google/hotmial/whatever accounts.

Just a basic shareware calander or something from my account already existing at fastmail.fm would be super handy.

Is backpack compatible with Sync ML or LDAP?

Thanks
