I gave Steve some BSD-liscenced PHP calendar code I found on Freshmeat, asked him to add SQL queries and hyperlinks to the posts it found, and called the result good enough. The code from Michel Valdrighi (author of b2) himself, as modified by Alex King, was designed to more stringent standards, and specfically for b2, not for a general purpose.

A few weeks ago I figured out how to add Mark Pilgrim’s guidelines to Steve’s code (it was really easy). Then I found the Alex King code, which did essentially the same thing to Michel’s code, plus added navigation arrows so you could quickly go to next month or last month. So that’s why I ditched that bit of Steve’s code.

And making Steve’s code suitable for distribution means splitting it into individual files that can be pasted into your template with PHP include statements, as per Michel’s guidelines, came down well after Steve started coding.
