Honestly, Google calendar works well enough that I'm not sure that I |
| 12 |
like the idea of re-inventing the wheel. Maybe if somebody designed |
| 13 |
some kind of open calendar access protocol that was comparable. |

If you don't like Google tracking all that you do, create a gmail |
| 16 |
account and don't use it for ANYTHING but Google Calendar. That will |
| 17 |
greatly limit the amount of database correlation they can do. |

If somebody has a suggestion for a reasonable multi-user calendaring |
| 20 |
infrastructure that has reasonably close feature parity and isn't a bear |
| 21 |
to maintain I'm sure it would be considered. |
