[ubuntu-uk] information manager for ubuntu / gnome

[Ian Pascoe]

Hi Paul

Just to point out the obvious, if you want something that is just on your
desktop, then go along with whatever you feel comfortable with.

However, if you want to be able to synch the various parts of the PIM, then
either follow the advice provided so far, remembering that by using G-Mail
as the synch server it is outside of your direct control - privacy and all
that.  But, there are a number of alternatives that can be used that can be
either run on your desktop or server that will synch up to various other
PIMs.  Problem is that there is not one standard especially when you want to
start synch to mobiles etc.

> I use Gmail with Gcal as it now has Google Docs enabled in which you
can add a document to an event and then send an email as well, in which
you can then add to Gtasks as well and works really quickly, the you can
also send it to your mobile at a set time, which is really useful!

> Also you can work from Gmail and the search from Google Desktop also
checks attachments and again you can make an event from the email and
add it to tasks via Gcal. Gapps are starting to work together well for
me! Another bit that came very useful the other day was someone sent me
an address in an email and in Gmail on the side it recognised it was an
address and added 'show map' and worked with Gmaps.

Try adding an appointment in Google Calendar using Quick Add as "12-2
meeting at Buckingham Palace" then go back into the appointment. :)
