[wp-hackers] Adding an editorial calendar to WordPress

[Zack Grossbart]

Thank you all for taking a look.  I always think about managing a blog as a
calendar, but you guys are probably in a better position to know how most
bloggers work.  Adding a new top level menu option is a big change.

I'll keep working on it as a plugin.  Thanks for all the help.

Cheers,
Zack
