Firstly, I really like the idea of a Calendar. I've only just started 
getting my life organised with regards to remembering appointments and 
birthdays and stuff, so am definatly liking the whole Calendar thing.

I used Kronolith for a while and i really did like it.

Then I started using Mozilla Calendar. Mozilla was able to sync with a 
remote calendar pretty neatly using WebDAV and and ics file, pretty much 
like the iCalendar Mac OSX proggie. This was perfect for me as I need ot 
access my calendar easily both at home and at work, so WebDAV is 100% 
ideal for me.

The one thing I feel is currently missing from Kronolith is the WebDAV 
publishing/updating of it's local calendar database.

I would love to have a MythCalendar app, and I beleive it would need 
it's own DB schema to run efficiently, but I hope it also supports 
WebDAV (in both directions) too.

If the DB Schema is derived from Kronolith, whatever logic is put in 
place for syncing with webdav can hopefully be ported back into 
Kronolith. That said, perhaps Kronolith has moved on since I last 
looked..... will have to go check!!

Cheers

Col.
