I'd go with icalendar. It plays nicely with most major calendar applications. also, at the risk of sounding like a shill, I'm helping develop a web app (www.fusecal.com) that'll make it easier for web publishers to get their calendar information into users personal calendars and keep the informati

Does anyone have a recommend standard XML format for the exchange of calendar information, preferably something with a W3C standard? We want to be able to publish data from our content management system in a format that other calendars in our community could scoop up. Thanks, - David --- David

That's pretty much what we did here. I signed us up for an account with a local ISP, and our testing Mac is for testing how stuff looks in Mac vs. PC (since 15% of our audience is on Macs) as well as for dialing up to the ISP to see how stuff works from outside our network. (Knowing whether thing

Hi Chris, I'm not sure how your campus is set up, but our IT folks actually have a separate account with a local ISP just for this purpose; they were even nice enough to run a line into my office so I can plug in to test off-campus resources. Granted, if that doesn't already exists at your cam

Do you have SSH access to an off-campus server? If so... 1) Use PuTTY to create a local SOCKS proxy w/ an SSH tunnel to the off-campus server. 2) Configure your browser to use the SOCKS proxy Wa-lah [sic], your requests will appear to be coming from off-campus. A good guide to setting up the ssh

Call number browse often fails because of one primary reason: local call numbers that don't fit $CALL_NUMBER_SYSTEM. The biggest example that I can think of are non-book/serial materials, like AV materials and archival collections. Mark A. Matienzo Applications Developer, NYPL Labs The New York Pu
