Back in January I constructed a complete proposal for how to expose this kind of functional extension to #set_recurring_events. I got no response. Subsequently I DM'd Markus to see if he had any thoughts, and also got no response. Here is my original proposal:

It's good to see I'm not the only person who thinks this is important. I was within a few weeks of coding this up just for myself, since nobody else seemed interested. I'm still open to any/all thoughts about my proposed way of exposing the functionality. -Al On Wed, 2010-03-03 at 22:27 -0500, Yaron Koren wrote: > Hi, > > > No, this one's an actual problem. :) The 'xofmonth' concept sounds > interesting (though there might be a nicer name than that) - but what > would a call to #set_recurring_event look like, using 'xofmonth'? > > > -Yaron > > On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 9:51 PM, David Raison <da...@hackerspace.lu> > wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi again, > > I hope this is not going to turn out to be another Pebkac for > me ;) > > Have you foreseen the possibility of tweaking the recurring > events parser to not parse monthly > recurring events by date (i.e. each 6th of a month) but by > days of the week (i.e. every first > Saturday of a month)? > > Actually, there are two possibilities to do this (or let's > rather say, two that I thought of, not > being familiar with the SMWDataValueFactory).
