There was a talk at YAPC::NA which I didn't attend, but I talked to a couple of the Boston-based folks working on it who said the gist was 'this is where we were, we haven't got much further, and these hard problems are why'. Shared calendaring is hard. Shared calendaring that needs to observe timezones is *very* hard. Calendaring that does repeating events is also hard. If you can avoid these requirements it might be easier. iCal compliance is definitely something you should be aiming at, though, even if it adds to the hardness. -- :: paul :: dave staugas loves bea hablig
