Hi, i have one problem. I don't like large desktop managers like KDE
(which have KOrganizer) and i want something like that - nothing
special, only calendar and organizer (something simple) which can help
me remind some important thinks. Function like sending email is good
idea. But it must be usable in console (ncurses for example),..App
which is using raw X calls can be good idea, but i prefer ncurses (why
use X, if you can use console?:))...

Do someone know about any app for me?...I don't want hear no, because
if i'll hear no, i'll need to write some :)

ladisla...@gmail.com did eloquently scribble:
plan is a basic calendar.
I'm not sure about its other funtions though, but its alarm function can
send reminders via e-mail...
(plan is X based, but it's not bloaty like kde)

Several options come to mind:

calcurse (http://culot.org/calcurse/)

pal (http://palcal.sourceforge.net/)

wyrd (http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~pelzlpj/wyrd/) running on top of remind
(http://www.roaringpenguin.com/penguin/open_source_remind.php)

Those three are all ncurses based. (wyrd is a ncurses front-end to
remind. There are other possible front-ends for the remind core, too.)

For X, there's xcal and xcalendar. (I don't have URLs for those.)

I don't know what distribution you're using. All of the above are
available in Debian, and are presumably packaged for other distros, too.
