[Web4lib] Calendar App

[Thomas Bennett]

We are currently, or at least have been, booking rooms with our III OPAC and 
manually entering the dates on a WEB calendar, Corp Calendar on Zope. See 
http://www.library.appstate.edu/calendar/ for our page that has links to each 
calendar.  It does not have ical or vcal built in but it wouldn't take much 
to add it in because it is written in Python and is runningn on Zope.

Although, there are products at http://www.schooltool.org that I especially 
like and have only tested earlier versions.  They are constantly developing 
this tool and it has come very far.

From their site:
SchoolTool Calendar is our calendar and resource management tool for schools.

SchoolBell is a calendar management system for small organizations.

SchoolTool 2006 is an open source student information system, projected for 
availability the 2006-2007 school year.



We have been looking for a calendar to use campus wide and there is a 
comparison at http://www.webmaster.appstate.edu/calendar/ .
Calendars we are looking at include SunONE, Calcium, Exchange, Groupwise, 
Meeting Maker, School(tool,bell,tool calendar), WebCalendar, Web Event, 
Zimbra, ActiveX, and UW Calendar.  Our preferred criteria includes RSS/XML, 
WEB based access, Client based access, scheduling, synching, import/export, 
permissions granularity, filters or search, subscriptions or includes or 
layering, API/SDK customization, LDAP authentication, and ADA validation.  
What we mainly wanted was a calendar that displayed well on the web, is 
shareable, and customizable.
