It's gratifying to see all this interest in Remind. :-)  I started writing
Remind in 1989, as a bored student intern.  Unfortunately, the project
has been dormant since around mid-2000, because I'm doing Real Work (tm).

I think a Vcalendar import/export would be great, but very tricky.  Remind
is not quite a turing-complete language (deliberately not complete, in fact),
but it's very expressive, and far richer than anything you could express
in vcalendar/ical format.

There is a Tcl/Tk GUI.  I like it. :-)

Consider this as a call for a maintainer.  Working on Remind has been
tremendous fun.  But I don't have the time to give it the attention
it deserves; if someone else would like to take over, that would be fine.

Regards,

David.
