I used
Christof Damian's calendar extension for displaying.
I now have settled on a predefined 'article' format for the individual days.
Then I wrote a Perl script (I am more comfortable with Perl than with
PHP) that will check each day's article and notify me when an
'appointment' is due.
Hans, do you still have this Perl script? Would you mind sharing it - I
would love to take a look at it!
It'd be really awesome to have a reminder of upcoming or imminent events
on the main page of the wiki, but I'm excited to see how your reminder
system works.
btw: Do you happen to know whether the Calendar extension works
flawlessly with MW v1.9? (I believe there were some issues with MW
v1.8.2 before, so I'd rather ask before breaking anything... )
Thanks!
