There seem to be several Zope-related applications where you want to deal with calendars and events. Some people want to display relatively static calendars of upcoming events such as conferences and shows; others want to write more dynamic scheduling systems where people can manage their scheduling; personally, I want to display historical database information, so you can say "Hey! Nothing's happened for a week!".
A veritable cornucopia of requirements.
The CalendarTag is quite useful, but it could be a good deal more flexible and the display could be improved in various ways. Philip J. Eby had several suggestions for a design for calendar events, in the thread starting from this post: http://www.zope.org/pipermail/zope/1999-September/009591.html
Question: is there enough interest in scheduling to make it worth creating a Zope SIG for working on the topic? The initial deliverable might just be an enhanced version of Ty Sarna's CalendarTag that's a bit more configurable. Or should I simply discuss this on the already high-traffic Zope list, or zope-dev? (But zope-dev for development of Zope, not Zope add-ons.)
Oh Oh! Don't forget transparent ZCatalog integration. I think there's plenty of interest, the question is resources. If your willing to marshal up some time to list requirements, I'll jump in on the code phase. -Michel
