<title>The Evolution Calendar: Time-Tamer Extraordinaire</title>
<para>
To begin using the calendar, select
<guibutton>Calendar</guibutton> from the <interface>shortcut
bar</interface>. By default, the calendar starts in week view mode (IS
THIS TRUE? CHANGE TEXT TO FIT FEATURE). The calendar week view is
shown in <xref linkend="usage-calendar-fig">:

<title>Ways of Looking at your Calendar</title>
<para>
You can view your calendar by the day, by the week, by the
month, or by the year. To do so, click BUTTONS SOMEWHERE.
</para>
<para>
Describe the less-obvious differences among the views of
time here.
</para>
<para>
In addition, <application>Evolution</application> supports
Hebrew, Muslim, and other calendar formats. To switch to a
different calendar format, choose
<guimenuitem>GUIMENUITEM</guimenuitem> from the
<guimenu>GUIMENU</guimenu>.
</para>
<para>
Describe the ways that different calendars can work here,
and how the different calendars work together.

<sect1 id="usage-calendar-apts">
<title>Scheduling With the Evolution Calendar</title>
<para>
The <application>Evolution</application> calendar allows
you to schedule events for yourself or a group of people.
It can handle events that repeat, event lengths from ten
minutes to multiple days, and events that have a date but
no specific time. You can set overlapping events, although
<application>Evolution</application> will warn you about
trying to do two things at once. You can also set event
reminders so that you don't forget about everything you've
just put into your calendar. Basically, it can handle almost
any schedule you throw at it.
</para>
<sect2 id="usage-calendar-apts-basic">
<title>Creating events</title>
<para>
While looking at the calendar, select <guimenuitem>New
Appointment</guimenuitem> from the
<guimenu>MENU</guimenu>, or press
<keysym>KEYSYM</keysym>. The <interface>New
Appointment</interface> dialog will appear. (INSERT
DESCRIPTION OF INTERFACE HERE: Date, Time, Recurrence,
Reminders, and Tentative/Confirmed)
</para>
<para>
You can alter those settings later by clicking once on the
event in the <interface>calendar view</interface> to
select it, and then choosing <guimenuitem>Event
Properties</guimenuitem> from the
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu.
</para>

<sect2 id="usage-calendar-apts-group">
<title>Appointments for Groups</title>
<para>
If you have your calendar set up to work with other
calendars over a network, you can see when others are
available to meet with you. To browse other people's
calendars over your local network, do this:
</para>
<para>
In addition, you can use
<application>Evolution</application> to mark a meeting
request on another person's calendar. To do so, first
select <guimenuitem>New Appointment</guimenuitem> from the
<guimenu>MENU</guimenu>, or press <keysym>KEYSYM</keysym>
to bring up the <interface>new event</interface> window.
Then describe the event as you would any other. Before
you click <guibutton>OK</guibutton>, (INSERT DESCRIPTION
HERE...). <application>Evolution</application> will
automatically send email to each person on the request
list, notifying of the time and date of the meeting you
have requested with them. In addition, it will mark the
event on your calendar and on theirs as tentative, rather than
a confirmed, event.
</para>
<para>
To mark a tentative event as confirmed, click once on the
event in the <interface>calendar view</interface> to
select it, and then choose <guimenuitem>Event
Properties</guimenuitem> from the
<guimenu>Settings</guimenu> menu. In the <interface>Event
Properties</interface> dialog window, click the
"tentative" button to un-mark the event. (NOTE THAT this
feature may not at all exist!)

<sect2 id="usage-calendar-apts-privs">
<title>Scheduling privileges</title>
<para>
There are several levels of scheduling privileges. You
can set whether people can see your calendar, whether they
can request meetings or appointments, and whether they can
create appointments. This section may have to be deleted,
because I don't know if we are going to support privileges
at all.

<title>Organizing your Appointments</title>
<para>
Until I have <application>Evolution</application> running properly,
I have no idea how this sort of organization will actually work.

<para>
But this section will have at least two paragraphs, and
probably a screenshot.
