Re: tooltips

I think this is an excellent idea. Personally, I thought the tool-tip
feature in the calendar is brilliant, and if we can keep something like it
it would be great.

By the way, I am one of the (probably many) 'silent members' of this
mailing list. I'd just like to say that the contributors are doing a great
job, and I hope that at some stage I will be able to help with this project.

Keep up the good work.
