[Php-calendar-discussion] welcome to the list

[Sean P. <spr...@cc...>]

Hi,
I justed added a lot of you to this list.  Please feel free to unsubscribe if
you are uninterested.  I've only added people who have contacted me and
showed what I thought was a significant amount of interest in the calendar.
If I was mistaken, or out of line to do this, I'm sorry.

I hope this list will become a place where people can talk about ideas or
work they're done for the calendar, and problems they've had, etc.  It would
be nice if when people contact me with problems, I could get other people
help diagnose and solve those problems.  Also this will be where I let people
know what's up with the calendar, or whoever else is working on it lets
us know. :)

I know the calendar is a relatively simple piece of software, but I would
like to have a small discussion of ideas.  Here are mine:
-write a gtk front end
-follow some sort of standard for storing or sending data.  (to enable other
calendars to use it, and possibly to allow us to retrieve data from remote
calendars.  this would enable the gtk part to work)
-fix the install script.  a few people have complained of it causing chaos
with their databases (a few of you might be on this list), that's bad.
-user support.  I always want an option for anonymous users to post, but it
would be nice to allow real users to have protected data (anonymous users
couldn't delete it)
-better language support.  I wrote the gettext stuff, but I haven't
maintained it and it doesn't work for me now. (it could be php isn't set up
properly)

Also, I would really like someone to help me maintain the calendar.  If
someone could test the CVS version right now and make sure it's all working,
I'll release an 0.8.

future:
for 1.0 I want to get user support, I'm not going to make a 1.0 before then.

-Sean
