A lot of the ideas thrown around on the forum (and the RFCs) include
the idea that the calendar app should be integrated with tracker, here
is a couple of ideas
http://www.haiku-os.org/community/forum/native_calendar_app .
Basically this would be much like (Haiku)Mail, this calendar app could
be included in haiku as a example of power of the attributes behind
Haiku. If it was elegant but simple and well thought out, then why
would it not get included ?
As Axel Dörfler pointed out this might not be enough work for 300
hours x2, although Hai_cu_be from the forums had an idea two years
ago, and I quote:
"I've always fancied the concept of having an "event daemon" at a
later stage. I even believe I've written a draft for it's concept
several years ago (under a different nick). Concept here would be
store everything from Calendar events to system events just like
people files and have them easily queried. That would make transition
seamless and would be a very productive way of working. For instance,
if you'd at some point actually do productive work, you could save a
"todo" file in a folder and have it appear in the event daemon. This
way you could easily keep track of stuff. This is extra powerful as
normally searching "tasks" in a CRM or Calendar is less powerful than
TRacker search query interface (Ehrm.. far less powerful by FAR).
The only real problem with the "file storing" issue I suppose is
security/Multi user, but to be honest, at some point I think the whole
security thing will be attribute based as well, where users are
attributes, and only the right one can access the right stuff. Would
also be a "predefined" thing for TRacker queries so you only query
what you own/have access to. This would indeed make network settings
even more comfortable."

Anyway I am very interested in what comes of all this.
