Hi there, I mentioned this at the last SLUG. For any interested, JiCal can now be shell scripted to do lots of things including rendering any Evolution calendar as HTML/PDF/XML/Text via stylesheet translations (XSLT). It also rolls out repeating events, something missing from the current XCAL spec.
This release lets you CRON tasks so that for example, a calendar of events for an organisation kept up to date in evolution might be rendered daily up to your organisations website via a CRON job. You might have another calendar with your weblog, this can be rendered periodically to a webserver as well. More importantly, JiCal enables users to book meetings together by translating their iCalendar files to free/busy time and posting it automatically to the web server. This is key requirement for larger sites who are seriously looking at Linux on the desktop. Please note: PDF creation requires http://xml.apache.org/fop, JiCal requires Java 1.4. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jical Also note: examples of HTML/FOP/XML translations are included but I need help to make them sexy. If you fancy your self as a XSL expert, please feel free to improve the examples to make the project that much swisher... License LGPL.
