[Slashcode-development] Need beta testers for Calendar plugin

[shane <sh...@lo...>]

I need beta testers for a Calendar plugin.

Anyone interested? If so, email me back. I'm looking for
3-5 people to thoroughly test this thing for me. I'll include
the README from it so that you can get an idea about what it
does, and where I'd like to go with it in the future as time
permits.

Inorder to test this, you should be comfortable with the
following:

re-installing templates using the template-tool
re-installing plugins
removing templates by hand via sql commands
modifying the portald-site that you currently run, if
  you do at all.

Thanks,
  Shane


NAME
     README - Calleria Readme

WARNING
     This release of Calleria is BETA software. Run at your own risk. There ARE
     bugs, there ARE broken and incomplete features, and documentation is not
     yet finished or wrong.

REQUIREMENTS:
     You need the following perl modules installed:

     Date::Manip, Date::Calc, XML::Parser

DESCRIPTION:
     This is a Calendar add-on for Slash.

     What it does:

     - it graphically shows when stories have been posted.
     - it has it's own EVENTS system, and graphically shows
       those as well.
     - handles calendars beginning with SUN or MON.
     - it can pre-render/cache calendar data for large amounts of
       data (ie busy sites)

     What it does not do:

     - it is not a full featured Calendar/scheduling program such
       as Microsoft's Outlook.

CURRENT STATUS:
     Beta, but it's actually starting to *look* like something. :)

IMMEDIATE TO-DO:
     get people to test it
     Vcards and/or ICAL for direct importing data into PDA's

Eventual to-do:
     write admin code to manipulate the events.
     create a user-submission system for the events,
      or tag it into submit.pl somehow.
     Clean up the code according to http://slashcode.com/docs/slashstyle.html

WANTED:
     I need help/suggestions for the postgres SQL schema and data dump,
     since I know no postgres whatsoever.

FUTURE IDEAS:
     Incorporate Net-ICal.

WHAT THIS HAS BEEN TESTED ON:
     Slash 2.0.0-pre3
     on Redhat 6.0 - 7.1 with 5.6.1 and Apache 1.3.19.

WHERE TO GET THIS:
     Currently beta testing, please email

CONTACT ME:
     You can email the author at sh...@lo... or

EXTRA:
     If you find this useful, or have suggestions, comments,
