As of the end of November 2000, we hope to begin on the following tasks:
investigate the current state of the art by examining as many existing calendaring systems as we can get our hands on
seek out real end-users (not necessarily developers) to tell us what they really want in a calendaring system
liaise closely with the iCalendar working group
liaise closely with other active open source calendaring projects, such as Evolution
develop an architectural design for Reefknot
begin work on Perl modules forming the base of the Reefknot toolkit
begin work on applications based on the Reefknot toolkit
It is hoped that within 6-12 months we will be able to release a stable toolkit and sample applications built with the toolkit. These applications should provide sufficient features to begin to compete with existing calendaring systems.
