Hey,

at first i have to say, that the calendar is awesome!!! ;) Great job!

I just miss 1 feature. It would be great if i could create repeating events.

My first thought was to have wildcards like "start: new Date(*, *, 6)" to
have an event on every 6th day of a month.

Another wish is, to give an event a new declaration of repeating days. Like
i can say that it repeats every 10 days.

I hope you understand what i mean! ;)

Greetings from Germany

i feel like implementing this would open pandora's box. there are many different
types of repeating events. the basics are daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly, but i'd
imagine many more would be needed such as weekdays, weekends, mon+wed+fri, tue+thurs,
biweekly, etc. if we support one type, we need to support them all. i could image
fullcalendar's API (and js file) growing very large to accommodate everyone's needs.

a better way to solve this problem is to have your server-side script (php) that
produces your event feed to expand repeating events *before* fullcalendar receives
them. this way, developers can modify their script to support any type of repeating
event.

i know this doesn't really solve your problem (you still have to write your own
repeating-event-expanding php code) but i hope to release a php script bundled with
fullcalendar to aid developers in doing this.
