Well, it's not Java, PHP, or Mysql, but if you want a challenging
project then have a look at libmcal
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmcal/
It's meant to provide calendar services and includes the beginnings of
an icap server - which is to a calendar what IMAP is to email. There is
also a PHP libmcal module to allow you access to the mstore backend (the
horde project uses this a one type of calendar storage). There is also a
shell of gtk calendar app but it would be more interesting to write a
bonobo / kpart plugin for it.
Right now the project has stagnated, it's tricky to install, and
probably has a few bugs, and also has stuff yet to be implemented.
This is a challenging project worthy of a very high mark (if you, or
anyone else, can get it working that is).
HTH,
Paul
