I noticed there has been some interest in computerised 'diary management'
or 'appointment scheduling' here in the not to distant past.

A mailing list has recently been created to aid the development of a
client-server protocol to facilitate the above.  The protocol is generic,
but, of course leans towards the UNIX(tm) view of the world.

This list is intended to hash out a standard method for client and
server programs to communicate information about appointments and
schedules.  It is named after the name of the original specification
document.  (The "Chronos protocol").  The most current spec is
available via anonymous ftp on the host boombox.micro.umn.edu in the
directory /pub/ietf.  I can mail out the specification if you can't ftp.

The original intention of the chronos protocol was to give people at
our university an option besides using PROFS.  A standard protocol of
this type is needed in the TCP/IP world.


Send discussion to chronos@boombox.micro.umn.edu
Send administrata to chronos-request@boombox.micro.umn.edu

Thank you for your interest!

Self Appointed Head of the Chronos Working Group.
