Hi,

for what exactly do you think do I need such fork? for syncing tasts
without a timestamp or do you think the normal org-caldav is broken in
general, cause it works for me now except it does not sync tasks without
deadline/shedule times.

I cant even test that at the moment because it does not sync the tasks
without timestamps.

I think this is a more direct approach, my version seems to be a
alternative if you open the source files in first 20 lines or so there
is a comment that says so, but your solution works, I think the second
part makes it running, with include-todo and use-deadline.

But I have to test it more, I think I stumbled over a bug, because after
my settings it should not have ascced me about google incredients, when
I tried to org-caldav-delete-org-entries.

With your settings it just deletes my 3 deadline/sheduled things and
never ask me google incredients, so it seems to me a bug.

I think it makes sense that a kalendar can only sync appointments with
dates right? or do you think it can deal with todo items without any
dates? And if so, what part would you think I have to change.

Even if that would not be possible its nice to have this option now, to
shedule some appointments I guess, but it would not work as todolist
then.

thanks again so far!
