This has been a project that we have wanted to do for a long time and now it is finally completed.  We are proud to announce the iCalendar.org site is now live.

Here at Z Content we have been champions of open source and open standards.  One of those standards is iCalendar, which provides the ability to exchange calendar events and scheduling between various systems from various vendors.  Without standards like this, users would be locked into a vendor solution and be prevented from sharing or transferring data to other systems.  The iCalendar specification promotes interoperability among calendar systems, and Zap Calendar has supported it from the beginning of the project.

iCalendar.org is devoted to promoting the iCalendar standard by providing iCalendar information and resources.  You will find the technical specifications to several iCalendar related standards in an easy to use format.  These articles were converted from the original plain text documents to more visually appealing XHTML articles using a Z Content developed conversion tool.  Of course, all of this is powered by Joomla, an open source content management system.

Check out iCalendar.org today and read more about this important standard.
