EventFolder doesn't use the Calendar tag at all. It works fine within the
CMF if you make a few tweaks to the ZClass.

The downsides are:

1. You have to create instances from within the ZMI.
2. You have to manage it from within the ZMI
3. It has its own catalog so I don't think that
    events will show up in the portal catalog

I have had about 10 emails from people asking me
to convert this to work with the CMF. It's almost a total
rewrite of a lot of forms, etc.

It would be much easier to add an 'Events' mode to
the Blark product where it would display a calendar
rather than a list of articles, and article postings would
have a date field in addition to the other fields when the
Blark instance is in Events mode (as opposed to weblog
mode).

Replies to event postings could take the place of
Eventfolder's 'reviews' and so on.

I'm willing to take it about that far and allow others to
add extensions as they wish (which I'd be happy to
incorporate into the code base).

Comments?
