iCAL invites
Anyone particularly good at generating iCAL invites for each of these?

See attached.
To use, change the file ending from .txt to .ics. Drupal.org wouldn't allow me to upload it with its original filename extension.
This is my first time doing this, but I think it's right -- someone please confirm.

Hmm... can't post *any* attachments
The attachment mechanism doesn't work for me: I think there's an issue with Mollom.
The .ics file contains the following plain text.

design development cycle details...
I'm really hoping for lots of details here documenting the whole process along the way... I think a lot of us can learn a great deal by being able to sort of "observe" this development cycle by reading details, issues that came up, how things were resolved, technical things, ideologies behind decisions that were made.. et cetera.
Please keep us updated with these kinds of things, Kieran! I'm really excited about this redesign Mark Boulton is heading up. He's done some absolutely stellar design work.
