Re: Generating content...

I'm interested.

I'm generating XML from libical. I then use XSLT to translate to the 
proposed xcal and back to iCal. I will get around to generating rdf soon 
(yeah - soon...) I'm also working with someone else that plans on using 
Mozilla as a client. We plan on coming up with a mozilla datasource for 
calendar and scheduling info in rdf.
