You actually hijacked your own thread ^_-

I will make a new thread on plasma-devel once i've put it in a scratch
repo (this weekend). Since that might also be a good time to think
about further development of that component. It's intention was to be
a calendar component set and also to actually adding and changing of
calendar data through some components. Thus in effect to have the
components available to make a full featured QML Calendar application.
