Since it is a big issue with SunBird and other Free Software calendering projects, I think it would be a big boost to the projects popularity if we can get COM access. I wish I could contribut

thanks for the extra details on 2.3.5. I can see now that it's different from 2.3.4. and more compatible with the desktop version. I'd better install it and find out more! my comments about osce.py were directed at 2.3.4. Perhaps the newer version doesn't need it, or may not be able to use it.
