Dear Lazyweb, Can you suggest an organiser/calendaring solution?
Hi,
What I’m looking for is a simple organiser or calendaring solution whereby everything is stored on a server. I want to be able to put in details of TODO items, events and meetings via a web interface (so that I can do it from mostly anywhere).
It should be able to email me about upcoming events, with a URL to the web interface to get more details.
I also want to have access to it not only via the web but also via some kind of API that would allow me to e.g. get a plain text list of events/TODOs for the current week in my shell login script.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks!

Thanks for your comment, but I don’t really want to leave the hosting of my data to Google, nor to have to become a registered user of their services just for this. I don’t think I would be able to get access to the data outside the web browser either, except by screen-scraping (but could be wrong about that).
http://30boxes.com/ looks a little more exportable, but I still would rather host the data and application myself if possible.

If you are OK with hosting it yourself, then http://www.group-office.com is a great GPL’d mail and calendaring system.

Actually, you’re dead wrong,…. Google allow you to pull your complete calendar as an (IIRC) ical file so while you can’t upload/sync into it like that you can sync it to almost any Linux calendar/script/tools/palmtop….

mrben: thanks, shall take a look.
D: fair enough, would still rather host it myself though, other than that would probably try 30boxes first.
Cheers,
Andy
