Calendar
April 10
Submitted by Mike Potter <mikep@oeone.com>

Since the last update for the calendar, there have been a ton of bug fixes.

A lot of front end work was done, which cleans things up, and gives us some new features, like resizing month view.

Work has started on a classic skin for calendar, which was only available in the modern skin.

There's work starting on the ability to integrate calendar into the Mozilla email program, so you can email events from one person to another. This is just starting up.

Work has also started on the ability to import and export a set of events. The backend hasn't been hooked up yet, so this is ongoing. We still need someone to help port libical to the Mac. When we get this, our calendar will be working on it. Email mikep@oeone.com if you can help.

A preferences page was added for calendar under Advanced. This holds a few things now, like sounds for alarms and the starting day of the week. There's been more standardization of the ical data source, to get it up to speed with the IETF standard.

Work has also started on the ability to set exceptions to repeating events. As usual, we're in need of XUL / JS developers to help us with the front end code. There's a whole whack of bugs, just search for open bugs in the calendar component.
