These files can be edited +manually or using interactive mode in pal. + +Problem: +------- +Events added in pal are appended to the bottom of the event file. After a while it becomes hard to find events +when manually editing the .pal file. Furthermore, recuring events and once-only events become jumbled. The time +codes make simple line sorting impractical. + + +Solution: +-------- + +A script to group events into recurring and once only, sorting once only events +by date, with a marker (such as an empty line or a comment) to distinguish between past and future events. + +Implementation: +-------------- + +Either shell script or perl. + +Notes +----- +This is my first github (and git) repo, so tackling a fairly easy problem seems like a good way to ease into git[hub]. + +I am also quite rusty in perl and an almost n00b on shell scripting. + |
