My new application will have iCal 1.5 as a requirement (because it installs certain essential frameworks)... do you see this as a bad thing?

Do you have iCal installed right now?

Yes.

Maybe you should have done a Poll

Yes, I have it installed, and no, it's not a bad thing. IMO, iCal is an excellent schedule app.
What's the project?

I have it installed, and don't see it as a bad thing at all.

Doesn't iCal come with Panther anyway?

Yep, it's installed for me...

This application could be BIG for Apple if they got serious with it.

1) Add rendezvous calendars where people can add/edit items.

2) Add an export calendar to web page (where the output is VERY nice and theme-able)

3) Better integration with the iApps (I see something where I can look at iCal and click on songs I imported on whatever days, see what photos I took on which days, etc. etc.)

I see it as being something more then a slick looking calendar that doesn't really do all that much.

Yes but not using it. We used to use it at work until it lost all info for no reason one morning... 2 years of what was happening everyday... not good... Couldn't get it back.. This has happened to others over at Apple's discussion board. No answer from Apple though.

I like those ideas.

Also how about automatic birthday calendar from address book?

And how about in Mail the ability to take an email and press a button to add the email to your calendar as an event and it would prompt you to fill out the info and have a link to the email so you can follow the correspondence.

Oliver.... I can't hide anything from you.




So... not a single no (correct me if I'm wrong...)

Sounds good!

I'll be posting screenshots soon...

Are you going to make iCal with Rendezvous sharing/editing capabilities?

I'll leave that to Apple. Looks like this is what's going to be in 2.0 if it follows the Rendezvous-ing trend.

That being said, it would be fairly easy to do, though.

Not bad ideas... I would like an application that would simply send nice HTML email. I'm not talking about all the time, but it would be cool for birthday stuff etc.

iCal is a free app. So anyone who wants to use your app that doesn't have iCal installed can easily download the installer, install the frameworks. And on newer versions of OS X, it will be installed automatically.

Those people that don't want/need iCal are probably still going to get it when Software Update wants to install it, to make the reminder go away. So I don't think you will lose any users by depending on the iCal frameworks.

Oh, and yeah, I use iCal.
