Good to see so many people looking at the issues! I am working on the following as we speak: > >* find a permanent home for the namespaces themselves > I was thinking that we could use some kind of purl address. But first, we need a good name. HybridCal seems a bit temporary. What about RisNiCal? (RisNiCal is not ICal) I'm no naming genius. Anybody else want to take a stab? > >3. Documentation and examples > >* write up the reasoning behind the choices we made in the RDF schema > Yes, this is going to be essential. Is it even possible to do this before we are satisfied with the schema? i.e. I think there are still open issues, yes? And I mean besides simple data-types. Just off the top of my head: - Is a VCalendar an rdf:Resource or an rdf:Bag? I think it should be a bag (with events, etc) in it. That's how I have set-up my version of the schema, but it seems to be different from Libby's. - The "*-CHOICE" issue (for example CLASSIFICATION-CHOICE): I'm not satisfied witht he way it is now. It seems like a kludge, and it makes writing code for it difficult. I think we need a white-board to write these "little" issues down and really hash through them. Perhaps a sourceforge account is needed? > >* write some implementations > Ok, so this is the front I'm working on. At present, I have written up a small (<1000 lines) pre-alpha quality java library (using http://hake.stanford.edu/~melnik/rdf/api.html ) to translate between iCalendar and HybridCal. I intend to release the source code once I'm happy with it (but feel free to ask me if you want an advanced peek). Additionally, I'm starting work on a patch to GnomeCalendar that will make it store it's data in HybridCal. -Michael Arick
