I think I needed it to get syncing to work when I created tasks on the
phone.  Much better is to write patches against the problems you observe
and have them merged :)

When you sync tasks, do they show up in the task program or only the
calendar?

Cool.

The google thing sounds weird.  I thought org-caldav didn’t support the
google.

No idea.

CalDAV supports tasks.  I will try to set up my phone with Tasks again.
The problem would be to sync ’em.  I don’t know if things need to be
changed in ox-icalendar or in org-caldav.

It would be great to be able to view the planning and TODO aspect of Org
in "normal" mobile phone programs on the go.
