A few weeks ago, a friend sent me a link to zimbra , While I quite liked the look of their calendar, i was not too keen on the java stuff. The XUL based Calendar I wrote a while back, while getting heavily used, (I basically track all my work in it). had not been developed any further, mainly due to the Proof of concept style hack that the code had ended up as.
And as I had recently upgraded most of my browsers to Firefox 1.5, and almost got my name in the mozilla hall of fame for fixing a tiny bug in it;). I was a little intreged by the SVG (and canvas) that comes built into it.
So in a quiet afternoon, I sat down and started hacking away to see how easy it would be to write a calendar application using these new graphic libraries.
