CalendarScript
Is anyone using CalendarScript? I tried a whole bunch of different calendar applications when trying to find what we were going to use on our new Web site.
After a lot of research and testing, I ended up going with CalendarScript. It's rather ancient, and hasn't been updated in a long time (although their Web site has, oddly enough). However, I found it was the easiest to work with, and, by far, the easiest (for me, at least) to customize.
Granted, I had to a lot of work to try to get some semblance of valid code out of it, but it was easy to get it fit in our template (or, in my case, to include it in the CMS I'm developing, so that it actually uses our template rather than a copy of it).
All of the other calendar software I tried just seemed to be too difficult to customize and add into an existing template.
What are your thoughts? Has anyone else tried it? Has anyone else found any good Calendar software that truly is easy to integrate (ideally, by allowing you to output just the calendar code, rather than trying to create a copy of your Web site template around the application)?

Oh oh... it would be very helpful to know what % of mobile phones are Web accessible.. with a data plan. Based on that information, marketing to/with the device would change considerably.
Thanks for these great ideas! More?
