Calendar Plug-in

Thanks for the notice Brian. It's time that I speak up and admit that I to
have created a calendar plugin for Manila.

<boringDetails yet='fascinating to me'>
The html, images, and program flow for my calendar were copied directly from
an open source online calendar. It took me a couple of weeks to recreate the
application in Frontier as a Manila plugin and I have since added quite a
bit to it and done a fair amount of debugging.

My clients and I (at this point) plan to release it to the community but I
have no idea when that will be. I don't have the time to fine tune, secure,
and support it right now.

I've posted a screen shot of the month and message addition screens[1].

The screen shot should make the features of the plugin evident. The actions
and resource booking do *not* work. There are year, month, and day views and
as well it supports write checkouts, moving items, and optional templates
for each Manila site. There is also a rudimentary contact query mechanism.
</boringDetails>

Anyway, I would like to be included in any future discussions regarding
co-operation among the various calendar projects. A feature rich event
planner / driver built on Frontier would be dynamite!

best regards,
Matt Carrico
