Abstract:
Enabling connectivity to the google calendar from evolution . The Aim is to create a google calendar backend that allows to
read and write through the GData Interface . The Gdata provides a protocol for reading and writing data on the web. GData uses
standard XML-based syndication formats either of Atom or RSS. It also has a feed-publishing system that consists of the Atom
publishing protocol plus some extensions (using Atom's standard extension model) for handling queries.
Client applications can view and update calendar events in the form of Google data API ("GData") feeds.Evolution can use the Google Calendar data API to create new events, edit or delete existing events, and query for events that match particular criteria.
There is a plug-in architecture in evolution, which is the use of evolution-data-server for desktop integration .
Brainread is a component used to read the blogs of contacts which can be used for this purpose.
