Well... I use a calendar I hacked together. It's PHP, and my wife and I
used it to keep our schedule. For editing, you click on the event in the
calendar, and it takes you to the edit screen for that event. It knows the
file it belongs in, so when you're finished editing, it writes it back to
that file. Oh, and yes, the other files are included in the main
.reminders file, so they are all included when the calendar is displayed.
In fact, that reminder file also drives a cron job that emails us our
events for each day as well.
