(I'm behind a slow dial-up connection at the moment and I just made my
winmodem work under Linux, hence the late reply)

Yeah, I grabbed ownership for the calendar package.

Here's a quick summary of how I want to work:

* Firstly migrate html generation from tcl procs to adp pages (make it comply
  with the templating system)

* Then hand off the presentation code to someone else better acquainted with
  html :)

* Look at the data model and redo it

* Supply customizable upgrade scripts

Currently calendar is *very* broken and definitely not ready for production
use. The postgres version for example chokes on a few pages, the data model
looks very inefficient, the code is really convoluted etc.

I'm also taking suggestions, Jade already mailed some. I'll summarize and
order them somehow. I've also drafted some things of my own and I will put
them up for discussion in a few days.

Dirk,

One thing would probably be changing the calendar to use ad_form.
