I am subscribing to the James list as we speak. Also. if any of you have
commit over in the Commons. I just need one more +1 vote to get
reinstated and officially restarted.
The good news is that we may even be closer to starting a community
around iCalendar, already. Someone who has never contributed before and
was just lurking has enthusiastically contacted me about helping with
the project. I am actually going to get him working before I even get
the new code back in cvs.
Thanks Guys
Jeff Prickett

Ta, that should keep me from frightening my kids tonight,

OK cool.
A lot of things need to happen but the good news is that some of them
can happen in parallel.
First I will try to create a to do list
Then stabilize the package structure and fix some of the old
functionality that I had to break to get a clean build
Once we get the to do list I want to immediately get anyone who is
interested involved in a to do item.
ABSOLUTELY NO WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON RFCs 2446 and 2447.
Dividing up work will be the fun job.
I could see you really helping out with RFC 2447. The one about
formatting iCalendar objects for a mail message. I am positive that with
you being someone on the JAMES list that you could probably eat that for
breakfast
I have a package called org.apache.icalendar.io which will be used to
output icalendar objects. I was hoping to write a pair of classes
similar to ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream. Probably called
ICalOutputStream and ICalInputStream which would be used to read and
write ICalendar objects.
Then, I think that we should have some serious discussions about iTIP.
This is where most of the new development will be. ITIP is a 108 page
document so I am sure implementing this could could take some CPU
cycles.
Anyway, That should get us started.
Thanks

cool.
Once you get sorted in commons what's the plan? I'd be happy to lend a hand.

Danny,
Thanks for your interest in iCalendar. Right now, there isnt a whole lot
of documentation except javadocs. You can download the current source
code at http://www.shpimp.com/apache until we can get it into cvs.
Three steps should get you going with iCalendar javadocs
1. Download
2. cd java-periodicity
3. ant javadoc
Browse the documentation and let me know what you think. If you want to
really get your hands dirty you can read the relevant Calendaring RFCs
:).
They are at the following links among other places:
http://www.imc.org/rfc2445
http://www.imc.org/rfc2446
http://www.imc.org/rfc2447
Reading rfc2446 and rfc2447 would help greatly. I have not read them all
thoroughly yet because I have not gotten that far.
I am trying to move the iCalendar discussion off general now and will
continue it here.
I have asked for commit status at commons and am still waiting on it.
Once we get commit at commons I will put a proposal in with the source
code like the other packages at the commons.

Where can we find out more about icalendar, so I can decide for myself ;),
as a relative newcomer I'd not heard of it until you posted about it on the
general list.
