Re: [backstage] What's the calendar app?
Good lord - of course they store them! I am using Gmail! the question is can they be relied upon to keep them indefinitely or will they either be hacked or go bankrupt or just decide to screw us? Darn I have to say all this again. I regularly clear sensitive emails from Gmail keep them in .pst files offline. On dual external hard drives. Not mirrored - dual independent hard drives. Every few years I buy another external drive or two for this and other backups. Offsite copies are made to DVD or CD. I have 12 years of both my private email my company emails stored in this way. Private is 300+MB and company 3.8GB (is actually an Exchange archive now since I sold the company). Calendar app, open-source, using Drupal - anyone?

Nico, Calendar app, open-source, using Drupal - anyone? WebCalendar 1.1 do you? It doesnt seem to be supported anymore though http://drupal.org/project/modules?filters=tid:61solrsort=sort_title%20desc This page may be of some use: http://www.roseindia.net/opensource/open-source-calendar.shtml Good luck Alia - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

RE: [backstage] What's the calendar app?
Surprised no one jumped in already, We've been clear that we're going to switch to the totally open source project Calagator very soon. http://www.calagator.org Calagator is a unified calendar for the technology community of Portland, Oregon. Unlike most solutions I've seen, its built around community events not just calendaring. That's a important distinction, its like the difference between upcoming.org and outlook calendar. I'm hoping with our support of the platform, we can build plugins to not only read from upcoming and facebook but also maybe write to them in some cases. The base is there, we just need to get it setup which is a little tricky because its RoR. If anyone would like to help speed up this process, give me a shout and maybe we'll come to some deal.

As a G1 user, I am happy to have clicked on the link on the page and now the backstage calendar is on my phone 2009/7/14 Ian Forrester ian.forres...@bbc.co.uk Surprised no one jumped in already, We've been clear that we're going to switch to the totally open source project Calagator very soon. I wonder if it can do repeats on the last day of the month and the last weekday of the month, which Google Caldendar can't do? Wordperfect Office (aka Novell Groupwise) could do that back in '88. http://www.calagator.org Calagator is a unified calendar for the technology community of Portland, Oregon.
