Well that didn't work out as I expected. Not much progress. I want to combine icalendar.rubyforge.org, and a rails crud interface to populate a database of bike related events. Each event has at least an owner, time, location. The bikebulletin coordinator and perhaps several others would enter events. Using category based filters several output formats would be generated. I'd like to have a TeX rendered PDF for breakfast on the bridges replace the word doc currently used, an email template for bikebulletin announcement list, and an ics file to feed into http://phpicalendar.net/ All three are derived from the same db. This is the big time saving feature the project provides. The goal is to make it more efficient than the current system which is retyping information into the custom php based calendar after the bike bulletin is published. It is hard to delete events from the current calendar and anybody can edit any event. Future features: -------------------- Repeat events. google map links for starting location route maps via bumpr.com rplanet.rubyforge.org rss feed of events of the day/week/next n days. Think about it and I hope we can talk for a few minutes at the next monthly. Next tuesday, november 1 at free geek 7pm. Aaron NB: I have no desire at this time to replace the php icalendar portion with code we write in ruby. _______________________________________________ PDXRuby mailing list [email protected] IRC: #pdx.rb on irc.freenode.net http://lists.pdxruby.org/mailman/listinfo/pdxruby
