Re: [school-discuss] Open Source Calendaring products

Here is a link to take a look at.  I am thinking on putting this in to

http://kronophobia.sourceforge.net/index.php

I have just taken a quick look at this but I especially like the linking to 
mapquest for directions to events as well as the email follow up feature.

Good luck.
