I recall that there is at least one sourceforge project like that on 
freshmeat. There are also 2 perl modules in cpan for creating web calendars,
mine and a guy I used to work with - entirely coincidental...

If you are going to make a move, look at setting up ZOPE. It is a great
web CMS. In fact, it runs on NT as well, so a move to Unix/Linux is
not an absolute requirement. Just don't tell anyone. There is now
an O'Rielly book on ZOPE. I don't have it yet, but hope to soon.

ZOPE has literally hundreds of components available. For an example of
something you could easily put on your site that is a ZOPE component,
look at http://www.squishdot.org

Check out http://www.zope.org

(My only complaint against ZOPE is that it is not written in Tcl...)

Go look at ical from Brown Bear Software. It is a windows based server 
calendering system. Runs on W95 and up. It is a good way to run a non IIS web 
server on a 95/98 box. I cant vouche for its security but have not heard of 
any problems.

Thanks. I did see that and it looked interesting. It was one of the first few 
to pop up on a google search. Glad to hear of someone who uses, and likes, it. 
The good news is that we'd have to migrate the fathers club web site to a 
linux-based web server. Actually, it looked good enough for me to try 
downloading and using on my RedHat server here at work.

Thanks,
Tim

There's loads of Web Calendars out there for Linux, we've used this one in house for 
nearly two years now.
