Long-term, orage is a dead end. I liked it too.

But that's the whole point here, someone is taking it over.

@Jerry3904
What's not to like about OSMO? I built the latest 0.4.4, and it seems to be fine for what it is. I really liked it. What am I missing?

Rainlander, on the other hand, I hadn't heard about it before. Seems far above OSMO for calendar sharing.

I've tried OSMO, and I've had trouble with recurring appointments, and writing back to a file which can then be re-shared back to Google Calendar.

As for Orage, the basic mechanics of it is great, but it's dependent on old libraries. If its library calls could be updated it would be as good as anything.

I also wonder if the devs could hack one of the basic panel clocks that exist in XFCE, so that when clicked, instead of the rather useless calendar appearing, another app (could be Orage or Osmo or something else, even a WebApp) could be run instead. The LXDE and iirc tint2 panel clocks (and possibly others) already have that feature.

... Does the latest Osmo has the ability to see the events on the fly by the panel calendar icon ?

@davemx I see what you mean.

@oops If you toggle off the Day Note Panel, you can see events by clicking on a date. You can also see a list of tasks by date using the Tasks tab. It could be better.

I did an evaluation of open source calendars, and OSMO was a basic calendar that looked nice. I use Task Coach for my more complicated projects. Task Coach is missing a calendar and a "Today" screen, but it handles a huge amount of information, tracks effort, lets you take all sorts of notes, and exports in ical format. That package too could use improvement (and a rewrite).

But I didn't see any killer app out there that does it all. I'm very interested in testing out Rainlander, now that you mention it. If I could merge something like that with a real task managing program, I think I would be set.

[oops]

@Okie ... Thank you for your input, I didn't know about "Task Coach" too.

This guys realize that this is a package request thread?

[OKie]

I reviewed Orage for my own use, and didn't like it. Every time I see people requesting some software that I don't like, I like to ask why they're doing it.

From this discussion, I know that I need to patch OSMO to make it work better than Orage, and that maybe I should look at Orage again.

Good luck getting the package.

[oops]

... Tried the new Orage into MX21 (test repo. Ver 4.16.0-0), all seems to be good here.
So thank you
