There will be. The calendar rewrite, like others (menu, pagemaster) will
have hooks so that other modules can access them.

Should be. I have to look at calendar because at first I wanted it to just
be an upgrade for the 0.8.x series. However, after programming so many
things around it, now that I have come back, it seems too limiting. I will
start working on it this week and I will post its direction to the mailing
list.

Well tab delimited importing and exporting was something I wanted to
implement. Calendar really needs to be a class dependant of the database.
I am going to see what PEAR has as well.

Steven can field this, but I believe his module does this already.
