Hula thoughts..

Nat mentioned on his weblog about shared calendaring and other new exciting stuff that is happening around Hula. It makes me think of "Planet Gnome" but with ical files.. Would be fun, one could have a shared calendar view, but also a "What's up?" -feed of events in a list fashion which would show, say, a few days in advance. Or, like in my recent pondering about date views and history and how to represent them - one could have "Today", "Tomorrow", "This week" and "Next week" views, perhaps represented in a column layout or such, not sure about that yet.

I would really like to see a Free Software "What's going on?" calendar where all kinds of organizations like freedesktop.org and other projects could publish their event calendars and those would be pulled to a "Planet" site and merged to a big feed of events. Would be nice to import those to Evolution as well.

Another thing I'd love to see is SyncML support in HULA - so I could sync my calendar to the cellphone. I have been thinking a lot about webmail as well - been using gmail for private stuff - and I like the fact that I can access stuff whenever there is just one computer with a browser. And Gmail has good search, so it works in practice too. Having both my calendar and mail on the web doesnt sound like a too bad idea really, as I dont feel like dragging the laptop along everywhere all the time.
