New Plugin: Events Calendar/Manager, 'Leapfrog'

Hi Grant,

One of my staff pointed me toward your post this morning, I am very excited that someone has taken the lead on developing an event calendar. Much like you stated, this was something that we were going to tackle sooner or later if no one else stepped up the plate :)

I have reviewed the spec, and have a couple of immediate comments related to the performance specific elements of the calendar. Would it be possible to make the calendar a little more generic, for example:

venue > location
online ticket sales > link
cover charge > cost
artist > act/presenter/guest/featuring, this one I don’t have a good suggestion for this label yet but it should accommodate events with speakers, etc – not just artists.

I also would request that venue and artist NOT be required – the only attributes that should truly be required are date & time. As you can probably tell, we don’t expect to use this for shows at all. ;)

We will be glad to help you test this plugin once when it’s ready.

Thanks for making your efforts available to the community, I for one really appreciate it.

Brandon
