David did contact me, along with others who have similary projects derived from the AVCalendar ...many of the things they have done are cool. However, I've come to understand, after freely supporting this module over the past few years, that it's bigger than one person. When you look at all the requirements and things that are already included and then look at the list of feature requests...it's huge! If it's into splintered into several versions, like mine and David's, it will only get worse, confusing the User Community and limiting good, solid support!
What's needed is a coordinated effort. I signed a DNN Project agreement w/the Core Team over 6 months ago and, in return asked for guidance on how to setup and run a development team to address the growth of the Event/Calendar module. I stopped working on the module, until I could recruit the help of others...because it was getting too big for me alone to support. That being said, I wanted to keep from happening exactly what has happened. Basically, Shaun Walker did the same thing when he setup DNN and the Core Team...I am trying to follow his lead. I intend to be a part of this project, if allowed, in whatever role is needed and hope that other developers, like David, will get involved in various aspects...
Jeremy White is the owner of this forum and the Event/Calendar Project Lead. Jeremy was supposed to setup a shared development area and provide us with the guidance and vision on how to run the project...we would then all prioritize, divide and conquer the new features, fixes, and requests. The hard part is how to re-integrate all of the individual developer enhancements...Jeremy and Shaun have the experience in running a large-scale, across the web, development project. We desparately need their help!
I suggest you and others contact him and/or Shaun to help promote the integration of ideas for the Event/Calendar module.
Thanks,
