[Zope3-Users] introductory app idea: music filesystem browser

[Adam Summers]

Hi,

I'll happily work with people to do some work on a simple calendar tool, 
provided that there are 1-2 people who are willing to also put some work 
in on it -- and others are willing to crtique it.

Why the calendar of all these. Here are the main reasons (I started with 
2 reasons, it grew):

    1) The business logic is more involved than simple validation, which 
is what I see in the examples supplied.

    2) Appointments change! Unlike photos, filesystem browsers &c. This 
means we need update logic -- which is lacking from hello world examples.

    3) A calendar is something concrete which someone can easily 
understand the underlying data models

    4) Some interesting but useful views can be produced (eg, PDF views, 
excel listings, iCal views, RSS representations (?) )

    5) It is something I would find useful, and hopefully others would 
too. The best thing about examples is when they are real world examples 
that are used.

Would anyone like to work with me on this?

Regards,
Adam
