<\/p>\nI use Exchange at work for calendaring. I also use terminal-mode emacsclient when I’m logged in from another machine. In that scenario I can’t easily open a web browser to use Outlook Web Access. It annoyed me that I couldn’t check my schedule from within a terminal Emacs session. Thus, I did the only sensible thing and implemented full Exchange Web Services API support for Emacs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The result is a library called Excorporate<\/a> that has proof-of-concept Calendar integration to show today’s meetings. It’s all written in Elisp, making it cross-platform. It’s also cross-Emacs; I tested it on Emacs 24.1 through Emacs 24.4, on GNU\/Linux and MS-Windows. It works on all Emacs versions that support packages.<\/p>\n The tricky parts were:<\/p>\n I’m trying to get it into GNU ELPA so that other modes can always count on its core APIs being available from a default Emacs installation. I haven’t put it on GitHub yet, to keep it hidden from the ruthless efficiency of MELPA. I was impressed and appreciative when MELPA bundled slime-volleyball<\/a> shortly after I released it. But I’d prefer to keep Excorporate in GNU ELPA only for now.<\/p>\n Anyway, I’m publishing this mode in the hope that it’s useful to other Emacs-and-Exchange users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I use Exchange at work for calendaring.
