To start - fantastic work on the fullCalendar!  I wouldn't doubt if your plug-in already has this ability and I just haven't been able to find it, but just in case, I thought I'd throw it out there for you to consider adding.

As for the problem, my use case is to only show users the current and future events for this month and the next.  Toward the end of each month (last week and 1/2), the first 3 weeks of the month are empty white-space, which my users will simply scroll past and ignore hundreds of times per day.  Additionally, editing events that span from the end of this month to the first of next month causes a refresh of the calendar to jump them back to the previous month.  

I've implemented some work-arounds for this by auto-scrolling them down to the current day, but still that is a full month view mostly unusable at the end of the month. I'm also determining if the user needs to stay in the next month or not when editing end-of-month events.  Neither of my work-arounds are ideal, so...

Proposed enhancement:
I would like to start the month view with the current week (or whichever week I'd prefer), rather than the month view always starting with the first day of the month.  

This is similar to how Microsoft Outlook will allow you to scroll through calendars (month view), and eventually you'll see the calendar start with the middle week and end in the middle week of the next.  I can provide a screen capture of what I would envision if you'd like.  

If you know it's something you'll never do, but know what areas of your code I could look at changing to do this.  That would also be helpful.

Thanks, and again... great work!
