"we have the tools for managing calendars. We need the concepts."


My question to Jon is how can his ical scale? World University and School - like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University) - is potentially in all 3000 - 8000 languages (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages), and with infinite open subjects (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects), all with calendars for people to teach to...


...each other. What are the limitations to ElmCity scaling? Doc, could you please ask this question, since I'm remote?


I'll do it, scott.


Thanks!


arguments go in this direction... Isn't good enough good enough?


Not sure what to do with that, but there it is.


Thanks, Doc!


Scott, I hope that did you justtice... not sure I did.


You did :)

Thanks


Thank you, Doc ... having a little trouble getting the word out about the free, open, editable World University and School :)
