It might need some template modifications for display, but you could allow users to submit events and so on by logging in with their FAS ID. However, I am sure there are better standalone solutions out there, if you're happy to maintain a separate tool. > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: fedora-infrastructure-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora- >> infrastructure-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Toshio Kuratomi >> Sent: 06 February 2009 21:33 >> To: Fedora Infrastructure >> Subject: Re: Calendaring system? >> >> Adam Williamson wrote: >> > On Thu, 2009-02-05 at 18:51 -0700, Clint Savage wrote: >> > >> >> Adam, >> >> >> >> Funny thing, I was just mentioning how it would be nice to have a >> >> calendaring solution that would be able to let people pull feeds and >> >> put items on the calendar for Fedora with use in FAS.

It looks like maybe it's a ruby project? I looked around on the site and there's no clear link to any good information on its licensing. Simon, As far as zikula, while I think the calendaring of Zikula is great, I wonder if we really need a fully blown CMS to manage our calendaring? In this case, it seems to me that we need *just* calendaring and not much else. I'd like an easy way for people to interact with the calendar from their client applications and update the calendar. I'd also like it to only do that if they have the rights to modify calendar events for their particular group(s) in FAS. Can Zikula do that? My thought is that Zikula is more of a "do it on the server" type application and can't handle input from a calendar client using caldav (or others). Maybe it can do all of the above and more. My theory is that we need to create a wiki page with the feature set we need and get the thing that matches closest to our needs. I'd be happy to start that effort early next week. If anyone else wants to create it first, I'd be happy to help their page instead of mine.
