sorry to be a pest right off the get-go, but could you clarify 'accommodates events via XML'?

MichaelxxOA · 07-10-2006, 05:44 PM

We should be able to add an event to an XML file (you specify the XML schema) and that event should be viewable in some form through the calendar.

Yeah very good point, it should be noted that most competitions we hold are for the benefit of the forum, and the community as a whole...

With that said, what would be everyones desired choice?

I didnt know about this whole "XML" deal. My calendar no longer qualifies. I might not be in on this one.
