I'm curious, too. I want to see what it does.  When I had it working
with Google, my calendar displayed when I clicked on the date/time. But
my calendar is on my phone, iPad, Mac, and in Thunderbird, so it didn't
add any value there.  I want to play around and see if I can figure out
why Gnome developers thought attaching accounts to a shell is a good
idea.  Also, I think it can integrate with github and that would make my
life a little easier when I use git from the command line.
