+I am serving notice that I am starting work on a calendar plugin inspired by Blosxom's calendar plugin. The current plan is to create a plugin that looks through all the source files matching a certain pagespec, and optionally spit out a month view for the specified month (default to current), or spit out a year view for a given year (defaulting to the current year), of a list  of year with posts in them. The output would be a table, with the same CSS directives that the Blosxom plugin used to use (so that I can just reuse my css file).  The links would be created to a $config{archivedir}/$year or $config{archivedir}/$year-$month file, which can just have 
+
+     \[[inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion and creation_year($year) and creation_month($month)" rss="no" atom="no" show="0"]]
+
+or some thing to generate a archive of postings. 
+
+Roland Mas suggested a separate cron job to generate these archive indices automatically, but that is another thread.

 This plugin is inspired by the calendar plugin for Blosxom, but derivesno code from it. This plugin is essentially a fancy front end to archives of previous pages, usually used for blogs. It can produce a calendar for a given month, or a list of months for a given year. To invoke the calendar, just use the preprocessor directive:
 
      \[[calendar ]]
