The Future of Calendaring In Plone
What are the calendaring solutions with a future in Plone? Steve asks, Lennart answers.
On Plone-users, Steve Nesbitt asks a popular question:
Can anyone provide a definitive statement of what the future looks like for calendaring solutions in Plone 2.5.x?
Looking at Plone Products I see a number of calendaring products - CalCMF, Calendaring, CalViews, Dateable, Plone4Artists, PloneiCalendar.
Some of these seem to be combinations of one another - CalCMF, Dateable.
Others like PloneioCalendar and Calendaring appear to be fairly old based on Plone 2.1 or with no activity for the past year.
Others look very new with nothing released - Dateable, CalPlone.
Now choice is great, but chaos and utter lack of clarity - at least to me - ain't so hot.
So which of these have a future and which don't? Where is the community heading on this?
- CalCMF, Plone4ArtistsCalendar and Dateable have a future
- The community seems to be coalescing around Dateable, but it isn't yet release ready.
Time will tell ;-)
I really hope that calendaring and recurring events happen this time! :-)
