[GLLUG] linux pim

[frank.dolinar at comcast.net]

I'd expect import from as many different software tools as possible. 
For example, I don't use Outlook to keep track of information. Most of that is in my local copy of Thunderbird. 

As a further idea, I'd like to see a feature that gives me a reminder (with some lead time) on family and friends birthdays and anniversaries, and some indication of needed lead time (manually entered) for each case where a package needs to be physically sent to the recipient. 

Related to that is a reminder to self for article or documentation deadlines, or when I have tickets to a concert on a day/evening when a meeting is normally scheduled (like GLLUG's Thursday meetings). 

These ideas are not "must have" but would certainly be in the category of "nice to have". 

Thanks, 
Frank

Do you mean import from a device like an iphone or import from a program 
such as microsoft outlook? Or both?
