I looked at IceCube a while back, and the biggest issue I had from an implementation perspective was that the DSL for building recurrence rules was awesome *but* there wasn't a clear path to build it from user input. calendar_fu is not quite as syntactically nice, but it seems more "user-ready", if you will. BTW, if you haven't checked out FullCalendar (http://arshaw.com/ fullcalendar/) you should - it's a pretty slick jQuery plugin to handle the *other* half of the calendar system. --Matt Jones -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
