Idea #4609: Add a Appointment reminder/calendar application without evolution

Description

I think that is useful to have a calendar/appointments reminder (an electronic agenda) that is a separate program from evolution (like mozilla lightning or google calendar)
that can interact with gnome and alert you when you have appointments, anniversary, etc etc)

The best is can you access it from the clock/calendar gnome applet.

definitely unbundle evolution/outlook. do like linux mint does and use thunderbird instead.

sudo aptitude install tasks

It is even integrated with the evolution calendar backend, so you can see the TODO items on the GNOME calendar.

I for one don't even launch Evolution when I install Ubuntu, I would like to use Mozilla Sunbird as it integrates with Google Calendar.

Evolution can integrate with GMail Calendar in the latest Gnome release.

The gnome clock/calendar applet should be more open as to which program it should sync to (including but not limited to evolution).

Perhaps it is time for people to get to choose their own programs prior install, maybe my idea will interest you:

As edcrypt says you want Tasks and Dates from Pimlico.

It is integrated with the Evolution backend so your appointments and tasks show up in the clock applet.

Evolution's integrated GCalendar support is really bad. I personally think it's usless as is in Ubuntu 8.04

I would also like to have a calendar that integrates PERFECTLY with Gnmome and also to have those features like gcal, todo, etc..
