About

Wuja is a Gnome application for integration with Google Calendar. It is written in Python and distributed under the GPL.

Please feel free to e-mail suggestions and general comments, as well as any bugs you might encounter.

Features

  • Popup notifications on your Gnome desktop for your Google Calendar appointments.
  • Browse your appointments by date.

Download

Installation

Wuja depends on the following libraries:

Installing these is dead simple with easy_install, and we'll assume you have it installed before proceeding. If you choose to go it alone without, the sites linked above should contain sufficient installation instructions.


easy_install vobject
easy_install elementtree
(install dateutil manually)
tar zxvf wuja-VERSION.tar.gz
cd wuja-VERSION
sudo python setup.py install

Then simply run "wuja" from the command line.

How To Use It

To use wuja you'll need to configure it with the XML feeds for the calendars you're interested in. To locate the URL for your calendar, click the dropdown arrow beside it in the Google Calendar web interface.

Select "Calendar Settings", then click the XML button beside "Private Address" and paste the resulting URL into the wuja preferences dialog.

Run gconf-editor, navigate

Run gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/wuja and delete the feed_urls property. You'll have to reset all your calendar URL's.

I'll put a fix in for 0.0.5 so this won't happen anymore.

Cheers!

Doh! I finally noticed the

Doh!

I finally noticed the little hand icon in the corner of the taskbar. BTW, I installed 0.0.3 (at least that's what was in the name of the tarball), but wuja --version reports 0.0.2.

Thanks for the cool little app.

Is there a mailing list or

Is there a mailing list or forum for wuja? The only thing I could find was this comment box....

I've installed wuja 0.0.2, but I'm baffled as to how to configure it. I've got the XML feed URL, but when I run "wuja" from the command line, absolutely nothing happens.
Is a window supposed to pop up or something?

If I hit ctrl-C, I get

$ wuja
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/wuja", line 19, in ?
wujaApp.main()
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wuja/application.py", line 201, in main
gtk.main()
KeyboardInterrupt

I'm running XFCE instead of Gnome, is that a problem?

Well, gj, but... does it

Well, gj, but... does it make sense? You can easily integrate your Google Cal with your Evolution and have all the notifications you need without applets... :)
