[Sons, F. <Fra...@da...>]

Sorry for the delay - either the list is still dead or i don't get other =
mails - if the list is used, can someone please reply to me directly? ;)

Anyway, i don't have that much time to test new versions atm, i lost my =
old webhoster (and lost my own version of the calender where i created =
login etc.) and i'm too lazy/don't have that much time to set up a new =
version and create login etc. again.

Maybe during xmas vacation or at the beginning of 2003 *g*

about the new ideas:

- a standard for calendar data sounds nice, but i think you need to talk =
to other developers of calendars before and ask them if they would like =
something like that too. makes no sense to create a standard if no one =
uses it, right?

- i never had problems with the install script, can't say anything to =
that

- anonymous/registrated user post, well - my edited version had support =
for login and only show entries to the owner, but he could also make an =
entry "public" so everyone could see it, he even could also make it =
editable, so everyone could change it also...
i guess it wouldn't have been that hard to allow anonymous postings as =
well, but it was based on 0.5, so the code is as bit older *g*

if you want to take a look at it anyway, i can try to find it and send =
it to you Sean.

- language support, i changed the calendar to display english/german =
before it has that support, need to test your version before i can say =
more to that *g*

i already have new webspace, but my old hoster went bankrupt too fast, =
so i couldn't save my old database (i was too lazy to make regular =
backup for private stuff) - and now i'm too lazy to rebuild everything =

i don't have any experience with that, is there a standard already?

I'm sorry to hear that.  I'd offer space, but I never have anything reliable,
and I don't even have something unreliable right now.  Actually, if you have
a SF account, I can give you access to the php-calendar web site we're I've
worked on things a bit.

I'm in no hurry. :-)

I was thinking more along the lines of using an existing standard.  I don't
have such an ego as to think I could create my own.

Good to hear. :-)

I have an old copy lying around.  I don't know if you've done anymore work on
it or not.  I would like to use phpbb sessions eventually, but I haven't had
the time nor motivation to set them up yet.

> - language support, i changed the calendar to display english/german before it has that support, need to test your version before i can say more to that *g*

I used your translations for my version.  I'm trying to get it working now,
I'll let you know how it turns out.
