I’ve been hacking around with the Google calendar API, but before I  
reinvent another wheel, I wanted to see if anyone has assembled anything  
already.

There is Google calendar project on RubyForge, but it appears to be  
vapor. Any real Google calendar/Gdata libs out in the wild?

Thanks,

heh. I just started futzing with google calendar and Gdata today.

I’d also be interested if something already exists, as my efforts  
probably won’t see the light of day anytime soon (but it does look  
pretty straight forward).

Jason’s project looks like it just started (google calendar at  
[rubyforge.org](http://rubyforge.org)). Any code yet, Jason?

I’ve seen that, and it’s interesting, but it’s JavaScript.

I’m looking for any existing Ruby code to do http requests against the  
Google calendar API.

(I’ve got some basic stuff working now, anyway …)

Thanks,

There is a gcalendar.rb out there. Has anyone tried it or integrated it  
with a rails app? (maybe too early at this point).

Hi Jason, that is actually what I was talking about. Forgot to add a  
link to it. I just came across it today looking for something to  
integrate google calendar into a rails app and wondering if anyone else  
had done that already. I haven’t tried it yet though. Do you plan to  
release a rails plugin of some type at some point in the future?

Thanks,

-Amr

Amr,

Are you referring to this:

That’s what I’ve been working on. If there’s anything you’d like to  
add, or  
any requests, I’d be happy to re-prioritize.
