I like open source!

Yup, that's true! I like open source, today I just get a mail with a beautiful ZIP file with outlook express import support for MyOE. Yesterday it was an RSS component made for MyOE. That's the kind of things I won't get with a closed source project...

So this post was just to say thanks to Hervé Poussineau and Weber Wang for their code... and to the rest of the very small MyOE community that becomes a bit less small everyday.

I'm just still troubled by something: I don't get that much feature request, that's strange, at first sight I'd thought I would get lot of request, and only a few actual development. That's almost the opposite. Feel free to post any feature request, to drop your idea and give us feedback!

Spelling in MyOE!

I get a first version of spelling in MyOE working. You can look the screenshot to get the idea... but even better, you can download and install the daily build in order to play with it.

MyOE daily binaries!

I made it! MyOE debug build binary, everyday, so you'll be able to see what's up with myoe. The binaries are build everyday at 5am CET.

You need the .NET 1.1 runtime and MDAC version 2.6 or higher. Currently the setup doesn't test the installation of those requirements. (basically if you have myoe 0.5 or older running on your system, you'll be able to run this build).

And euh... yes the build is available from http://myoe.sourceforge.net/daily/MyOEDailyBuild.exe

Feedback about the current build is of course very appreciated!

Spelling in MyOE?

NetSpell seems rather interresting to add into myoe... but myoe need inline "as you type" spelling, not only a spelling dialog.

I'm currently implementing as you type spelling, and I'll even try to include it in the netspell project.

In short: MyOE will get basic spelling very soon.

The question of the day is... does inbox synchronization with your PDA is of any usage?

Codename MyOE.NET Development blog

Yuhuu, I have a working synchronization implementation, for now, I only do weekly recurrence, and recurrence can't be created from the GUI (but can be created from the pocket pc :p)... but it works, I've the perfect copy of my pocket outlook schedule inside myoe, and if I add something in myoe, it's added on the pocket pc.

Source will be commited soon (lot of changes as you guess, no revolution, myoe still works the same way).

I'm working on recurrent event today (well, I'm sick, so it's more something like: I'll try to work on recurrence :/).

I wonder what kind of recurrence is needed? It seems obvious that we need common: every n days/week/month/year stuff, and be able to limit the recurrence to a number of ocurence or an end date... but what else? do you need something else?

Personnaly, I'd like to add the "period" concept: for instance, you'll define a period called "hollydays" and define an event as "every monday except during my hollydays".

The main problem imho, will be syncing it with external device (or other PIM), vCal doesn't contains such things, pocketpc doesn't (and I think palm doesn't), so syncing will implies some kind of lost.

So the question is: is it worth? The fact is that you'll get at least what a pocket oulook PDA can do, is more worthful?

"Why being modest?"©® ;)

I'm testing Thunderbird... and I'm very happy to discover this mail client... it's slow (I'm syncing my trash account for 3 hours now... only 15.000 mails ;), lot of things that myoe does can't be done with this client (well I guess it does lot of things that myoe doesn't... but hey! you know that my judgement is biased ;).

In short, I thought at first that I would find "a product that maybe one day myoe will reach", it's more "another project in development".

Well... on the other side, I'm not the perfect end user, so please if you use thunderbird, tell me why! If I can borrow some great idea from a project like this one... myoe will just be better.

I took some times for myoe...

I'm currently rewriting the calendar view, in order to show a "true" schedule with hours instead of a "list of events". You're now able to drag your mouse from 2pm to 4pm to create a 2 hour meeting.

PocketPC synchronization will come soon (I rewrote the calendar in order to get my PDA events in myoe), after periodic events will be implemented.
