Well, it's officially a plugin and has plenty to be done on it (no screenshots, sorry). Because of that, this post is going to be my todo list.

It'll be finished when I can be bothered to make it work properly.

What are you working on these days, Pete..? (If anything.)
Would like to know if we can expect you to work on fixing anything that could prevent a public alpha?

:/ That sounds awfully like an expectation.

I'm working on the ban stuff, since while we can go to a private alpha without that, because I already warned everyone before it even got released, we cannot go to a public alpha without that. The ban system as it stands is actually broken, and it's incredibly complicated to design a completely new one, but I'm almost at a point where I can commit something for testing here.

Well... If I say I don't expect anything, there's a chance you'll never get to work on this. No offence intended.

Good then.
Is IPv6 usable?
And what about the board permission stuff? What if you commit a crappy UI for it, but a UI that actually works..?

I know :) It's just I'm a lot tired from people who expect something for nothing, like the happy chap on our Facebook page who asked us if we could help him with SMF + Ad Management, and then got offensive when we gave him a less than satisfactory (for him) response.

IPv6 works in as far as it logs and IIRC track IP also worked. It's primarily the ban system that doesn't.

I already DID commit a crappy UI for it. And it works as far as I can tell... all I said I wanted to do was make it nicer, not fix missing functionality...

I'd rather be honest than fob you off with some misguided hope. It's a large plugin and it's never been one that I've been interested in, but when I get motivated, I'll go to town and make it work properly, and with some extra features. It's the same reason why it's not substantially changed in SMF in years either, because no-one who actually cares about the functionality uses it.

A funny thing happened to me just now, which goes to show how long it's been since I looked at it - the last change predates my rewrite of the theme/member options stuff which was months ago... and it doesn't even let me install it as a result.

OK, so you wanted an update.

It's very seriously nadgered by the way I just excised it from the core. While I dumped all the code into the plugin, I didn't exactly do it carefully, and I didn't realise how little of it really works.

Fortunately, I have a few things that need doing architecturally anyway with it, so it's not like I'm overly attached to its code and have no fear of breaking things :D

Why build a calendar plugin when we can use Google API, they have for Android which pushes notification to your devices?
