Using Funambol 6.0.14

Here's how to synch your Outlook Calendar with Google Calendar via ScheduleWorld, using Funambol 6.0.14 and Outlook 2003. But it doesn't work, because ScheduleWorld muffs the synch with Google.

Here's the unit test for the top-level procedure for the Python version. (I drifted from the original design.) test-g2o.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import unittest
from mock import Mock
import g2o
from calendar import Calendar

class TestSynch(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_synchCalendars(self):
        mGoogleCalendar  = Mock({"merge":Calendar})
        mOutlookCalendar = Mock({"merge":Calendar})
        mOutlookCalendar.mockAddReturnValues(assign=mOutlookCalendar)

UPDATE April 2009:

• Switched from OneNote 2007 to Evernote because I'm using a Mac, Ubuntu and Windows.
• Switched from Windows Search 4.0 to Google Desktop because it searches Evernote 3 databases.  (You have to install GDS and then install Evernote).
• Note: Evernote works with OS X Spotlight "out of the box."  Evernote can import from OneNote and also export to XML.

Summary (Updated April 2009):

If you want offline caching of posts AND proxy support and you aren't willing to tolerate Ecto's peculiarities, the only games in town are Windows Live Writer, BlogJet and RocketPost.  Live Writer is free. RocketPost reportedly has zero support in the low-priced option, and it won't let me sort my cached post list by anything (other than date, descending, which it does by default).  BlogJet won't let me sort, but it does on-the-fly filtering as I type words from the title or body.
