CPSSharedCalendar 1.0beta2 released

June 2, 2005 -- Nuxeo is happy to release CPSSharedCalendar 1.0beta2. CPSSharedCalendar is an advanced, flexible calendaring component for CPS3. It allows CPS users to access personal calendars using a web interface. Events on the calendar can be shared between multiple users, as a user can invite others to an event. This event will then appear on the calendar of the invited users as well.

Features of the CPSSharedCalendar include among others:

• a web interface for managing calendars,
• integration with iCalendar clients (Apple iCal, Mozilla Sunbird, KOrganizer...) using the iCalendar protocol,
• invitation workflow,
• meeting support,
• meeting helper that looks for free time,
• etc.

Changes since beta 1 include

• Support for Workspace and resource calendars
• Import form for iCalendar files
• Various bugfixes

CPSSharedCalendar is built on a reusable core and is thus not just for CPS. It has been written from the ground up to be easy to integrate with other Zope 2 platforms such as Plone and Silva, and with portability to Zope 3 in mind. Its core component (CalCore) can even be used outside of Zope altogether.

For more functional and technical information, see the CPSSharedCalendar web site:
