It isn't going to work the first time. In fact, I'm probably not going to successfully complete the login sequence. So just to make sure I understand it correctly, I'll prototype it with wget.

Submitted by Kevin Kleinfelter on Thu, 2007-05-03 20:13.Create a routine that creates a Google data session and an Outlook data session
Retrieve each calendar (is-a or has-a array of events)
Merge the two calendars into a single (new) calendar
GoogleCalendar = mergedCalendar
OutlookCalendar = mergedCalendar
GoogleCalendar.persist
OutlookCalendar.persist
Planned Unit Tests for Bake-off Code 2
Submitted by Kevin Kleinfelter on Thu, 2007-05-03 20:08.I'll need 'session' objects for both Google and Outlook. Sessions can do the following:
- Start-up
- Shut-down

Now I'll begin to flesh out Calendar.merge. For starters, I'll create an AbstractCalendar class and specialize it into GoogleCalendar and OutlookCalendar. Calendars will support the following methods (for now):
- load
- merge
