A couple of years ago, when microformats were first created, I wrote a JavaScript-based renderer for hCalendar which I called JSCalendar. The idea is that wherever an event was mentioned on a web page, you would include hCalendar attributes in the description, so that the HTML was both human- and machine-readable; you’d then just include my JavaScript file an an empty <div> and voila, an attractive monthly calendar would appear on your site, fully stylable with CSS. I never ended up actually using JSCalendar for anything myself, but other folks apparently found it useful, and I get bug reports and suggestions every so often. It’s not exactly the best piece of software I ever created (and in fact was the first JavaScript I wrote), but hey, if it’s useful, might as well make it more easily available and make it easier for others to contribute patches to it.
So I’ve moved it to Google Code Hosting. I’ve also changed its name to js-hcalendar, since jscalendar was already the SourceForge name of a very nice embedded JavaScript calendar.
