I edit
EastBayKerry.com , a
TypePad weblog. It's a dual-use site: evangelism with a public face for our group and political cause, and a work coordination site. From a September 2003 help desk ticket to TypePad support:
I'd like an event typelist.
First, I want the fields described by vCalendar, RFCs 2445 (iCalendar), 2445 (iTIP), and 2447 (iMIP).
I want to be able to import events from my desktop calendars (outlook, palm).
I want to display upcoming events in my sidebar.
I also want to be able to show recent events or events in a time range.
Each event should have a permalink.
I want to sort by date/time of the event, not the date/time the link was posted.
I should be able to control day/date/time displays.
I should be able to emphasize some events as important, so they get an alternative CSS style (so I can pick them out of a longer list of events).
I want to be able to group or categorize events.
I want the option of providing a link to a .cal file so I can drag an event link from a page into a desktop app. Outlook and the Palm Desktop and most PIM packages support drag and drop.
When I create a new blog post, I want to be able to point to one or more events the way I point to categories.
I want to syndicate an event list, as with RSS/RDF/XML.
I want to show another person's list on my blog.
I want to combine several events lists (mine and/or others) into one list.
I want to be able to see events in calendar formats. See calendar.yahoo.com for various layouts.
Also: TypeLists should be accessible to guest authors too, with permission.
It's still on the wishlist.
