I'm very interested in seeing that, even though I don't know exactly 
what it does. :) Silva doesn't have a calendaring system yet, though we 
do have an 'agenda' for the SilvaNews extension that may be along these 
lines.

Note that Silva is not ready for Five yet, though we're working on 
making it so right now. That is, we're porting Silva's view system to Five.

That sounds like a very nice example of Five in action already.

Yes, that sounds like a great idea! Let's discuss how we can get this 
properly imported.
