Remember The Milk plugin for Canola - GSoC 2009 Project


Project summary

The main goal of this project is to create a program which allows users to manage personal todo (or task) lists in easy and comfortable way with support of most the of modern features - synchronization, finger friendly interface, tags, integration with other applications.

Program will be implemented as a plugin for Canola. Task lists will be available locally on a tablet and can be synchronized with www.rememberthemilk.com service.


Getting the source code

Main project repository is hosted at code.openbossa.org. You can clone repository with the following command:

git clone git://code.openbossa.org/canola-rtm/mainline.git


Adding RTM plugin to Canola

Assuming you already have Canola working in your system (if not - read this article about how to build it yourself).

Get the source code of a plugin:

git clone git://code.openbossa.org/canola-rtm/mainline.git

Build theme files (example below is for default theme):

cd mainline/data/themes/default/
edje_cc default.edc default-rtm.edj

Move resulting *.edj file to <canola_src_path>/THEMES folder. Copy mainline/canola-rtm folder to <canola_src_path>/plugins folder:

mv default-rtm.edj <canola_src_path>/THEMES
cd ../../../
cp -r canola-rtm/ <canola_src_path>/plugins

Run terra-rescan-collections:

cd <canola_src_path>
terra-rescan-collections -c canola.conf

Now you can run Canola and try out new plugin.
