Recently I discovered GoogleCalendar and the possibility to download an xml feed for a specified calender via GData API.
Some guys at AJAX Magazine even made an simple html/php skript that displays this on a webpage other than google:
http://ajax.phpmagazine.net/2006/04/howto_integrate_google_calenda.html

I tried doing this as a block in drupal but it looks like the ajax stuff is not executing or something (I'm no webprogrammer...). It works when calling the index.html in the example directly..

I'm wondering if there areany plans of integrating GoogleCalendar ?
I did not find any other module listed under drupal.org that does this.
This would make administration of common calender information real easy between people and different sites.

Have a nice day.

Ya know, I'm really interested in this feature. So interested, that I'm interested in implementing an extension to Event myself. I think it should be a seperate module, but dependent on Event. It should reuse the existing user interface and just access the Google Calendar's backend through the apis.

I'd like some suggestions on how to get started. I've written a development roadmap that seems reasonable, but I'm not sure what IS reasonable since this would be my first attempt at writting a module for drupal.

And feedback is welcomed.

This would be an awesome module to have. Right now, the event system is limited and very difficult to use. If we could integrate Google's calendar, that would be awesome. I strongly support this idea.

Hey I started a project on this issue: http://drupal.org/project/event_GCalendar

I don't have a ton of time with 2 jobs and a newborne, but this kind of work is fun. I'll get there eventually.
