Plinkit uses CalendarX and while I don’t quite yet see the day when Plinkit will be running on Plone 3.0, I do know that we have gotten and will continue to get a lot out of our use of CalendarX.

So I’m here to let you know that a fundable campaign has been setup to assist Lupa Zurven (CalendarX’s primary developer) in making CalendarX Plone 3.0 compatible. While this is not a refactoring effort, I know that there are many fans of CalendarX who will be happy to have working version for the latest release of Plone. In particular, the goals are to:

1. Make architectural changes so that CalendarX runs on a clean Plone 3.0 install.
2. Make sure that there are no deprecation warnings put out by a clean Plone 3.0 install upon loading CalendarX.
3. Update the documentation to be sure that it reflects operation of CalendarX within a clean Plone 3.0 install.

If this campaign goes well, it’s possible that Lupa will consider a second that will work “toward improving CalendarX and delivering the functionality that people have always wanted in a top-notch, flexible Plone-based calendar.”

So if you use CalendarX (or are thinking you would like to), take a few moments to contribute, I already have!
