I've seen various bits of work on formatting
calendars for display...

I wrote something to take data from the palm
datebook, projected into RDF, and display
it as HTML...
  http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2001/palmagent/datebook2html.xsl

David Dorward reported a problem with that recently;
the fix is pretty easy, but I haven't gotten around
to releasing it and I'm not sure when I will...

I see Hugo has been doing some related work...

  "weekly.pl is a Perl script generating an XHTML weekly view of an RDF
calendar document."
  http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2003/weekly-view/

And I've seen a few people struggling with bugs
in phpicalendar... I thought it was a read/write
database thing, but it's actually just a
read-only .ics->.html formatter. php is great
for database applications, but as a general-purpose
programming language, I prefer python (or even perl).
And for XML->XML transformations, XSLT is usually
worth trying.

I don't have any particular suggestion or request;
but I'd like to move the discussion from my
private mailbox, where it competes with lots of
other stuff, to this forum where other folks have
a chance to help.
