First, I am absolutely new to this world. But, the modularization of data has long been my Holy Grail. Given the age of TWK, I suspected that experienced hands might have tackled common data representation problems long ago. Of course, time and events are core to our lives.
I envisaged that maybe there was a handle .ics to (favorable Tiddler format) already created by a kind coder. I should probably clam up until I learn about the various Data Tiddlers that seem to exist. That said CONTACT representation (.vcf conversion) is of far greater gravity. And TonyM has been most kind in giving direction there. ### On Thursday, November 14, 2019 at 4:23:50 PM UTC, @TiddlyTweeter wrote: > > Far be it to for me to naysay you. The wrap needs unwrapping.
