Hello! I think it would be more than enough to start only with events as Ankur says. Having the main events categories would be extremely helpful. I know Robert Mayr is working into some even more fancy calendar infra, but so far, I think we can go forward with this one.
I'm attaching the mail to him in case he's not at the mail list and see if he gets the hint :D 2013/8/23 Zacharias Mitzelos <[email protected]> > Hey ankur, > > Thanks for the reply.
