I think it's worthwhile outlining the Glorious Future Vision, so you can see what Clint and I are driving for here. What we'd like to have is a beautiful calendar system, where all Fedora-related events are stored. It'd have each team's meetings and test days and so on listed in it, the dates when Fedora pre-releases and final releases are due out - anything Fedora-related with a specific date and time on it could be stored here. And, critically, it needs to support CalDAV so that we can pull that data into other places. Most usefully for an end user, you could pull whichever particular project's dates you wanted into Evolution, Lightning, KDEPIM or whatever, so that you can see the dates in your regular client, and set alarms based on them and so on. The problem with a purely web-based system is it becomes yet another damn place to log in to, and you can't really set alarms on it. -- adamw _______________________________________________ Fedora-infrastructure-list mailing list Fedora-infrastructure-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-infrastructure-list
