Hi Philippe, thx for trying to get things moving again - I know there are quite a lot calendar related bugs to be found in bugzilla.
Can you explain a bit about how this would change the GUI for the users? Do you have to keep it up to date or does the table get filled automatically for recurring events? I am a bit concerned about the limitation of one year into the past and one year into the future. What happens if a due date goes beyond that or an item is overdue before that?
