I have got to think that at least a part of the problem with the adoption
of calendaring on a larger scale is the lack of an open source server
implementation. We can change that.

I am not sure if Netscape Enterprise does support iCalendar or not. The
Netscape Calendar client
does, at least according to Mozilla.org. The contacts on the rfc are
contacts at Lotus (ie Organizer) and Microsoft (ie Outlook), so the two
big calendaring giants have at least sat down long enough to hash out a
standard.

I was going to just hack together some "calendar objects" since we really
dont need the protocol for a web calendar, but I think this is a bad idea
because a good deal of design work has been done in the rfc. If we hack
some calendar objects we run the risk of creating something that doesnt do
the job satisfactorily. So I figure we take the hit on the development
time line and do it right the first time!!!!

I will reorg the package structure of my code and post it on my web site
sometime today or tomorrow. Sorry for not getting it up there yesterday,
got sidetracked trying to get my development environment setup to run
Jetspeed. See my next message!!!!

No work has been done on presentation of the iCalendar objects except for
a month calendar written using ECS. I am all for separation of logic
(business) and presentation.

Actually, the objects themselves do not exist yet. I am still implementing
the code that reads in the primitive data types. I need to get a few
things squared away, reorg the package structure, put the Apache license
on the code, and some more documentation.
