Pimlico Project announced

GNOME Office
GNOME Office

Pimlico is a suite of lightweight Personal Information Management (PIM) applications designed primarily for handheld and mobile devices.

Pimlico builds upon the GTK+ toolkit and the Embedded Evolution Data Server, which together provide a solid foundation for the applications. This also allows for easy porting to various GTK+ based mobile frameworks such as Maemo and OpenMoko as well as desktop usage.

Pimlico consists of four applications: Contacts, an addressbook; Dates, a calendar; Tasks, a to do list; and Sync, a synchronisation tool.

For more information, see http://pimlico-project.org/.

Exactly what this is!

But that is exactly what Pimlico is! It is based on the central personal information storage capabilities in E-D-S, which is fine (it's lightweight), but then has small and purpose-specific graphical front-ends for managing contacts, managing your calender or reading your email, similar to how Google has GCal, GMail etc.

I think this is a very exciting project, and hope it'll soon give us products that are not just useful for the N800/770, but are also useful for the GNOME desktop that we use on our PCs.
