Mozilla.org Announces Open Source Calendar

Posted by timothy on from the little-things-that-count dept.

Mike Potter writes: "According to an article at Mozillazine.org, Mozilla.org will be releasing an open source calendar. "Thanks to an extremely generous offer of code from OEone Corporation, the new calendar project will have a significant codebase to start from. OEone make Penzilla, an operating environment for internet devices based on Linux and Mozilla. ... For more information on, and a technical description of Penzilla Calendar, see OEone's website." I think we'll be seeing a lot more applications built with Mozilla, now that its stable." Mundane as it may sound, with tabs in place (and behaving more sanely), a good calendar is probably my most-wished-for Mozilla feature. The screenshots certainly bode well for this one.

  1. NOT Feature Creep - will be post-1.0 by Kelson · · Score: 2, Informative

    Gerv has stated on MozillaZine that while the intent is to get it into the tree so interested outside developers can start messing around with it, they won't be actively working on it until after Mozilla 1.0 is released.

    Read further. This won't get developed until AFTER Mozilla 1.0.

    As for browser/calendar integration, I think it may be more associated with the email client than the browser.

  3. How about a server? by Linux_ho · · Score: 2, Informative

    Does anyone know of an open-source calendar SERVER that supports iCal, and actually sorta works? It looks like ReefKnot has a ways to go, though it looks promising.

    RFC 2445, 2446, 2447

    These documents describe the iCalendar protocol, supported by Outlook and Palm Desktop, if I remember correctly.

    Open source servers:
    ReefKnot - still pre-alpha, developing a Perl iCal library and server implementation, looks like it has promise for the future.

    WorldPilot - a Zope product, looks like it mostly works well, I'm looking forward to playing around with it. Anyone know of any others?
