Zoot 6.0 does sound exciting. I’m very eager to see how Tom has implemented thes many features.
I’m sorry, but unfortunately I do not know the answers to your two questions. I can say that Tom hasn’t mentioned a calendar, so I would doubt that he is working on that.

GrandView introduced a calender at least 19 years ago—one that was integrated with the other parts of its system. Yet today many PIMs do not have this feature. How curious!

GrandView also implemented in line text in its outline in a way that has yet to be duplicated—allowing the user to choose from three options: 1. View the text within the outline; 2. View the text in a separate wordprocessing window; and 3. Hidden in the outline, so only the topic showed. GrandView remains the standard, in my opinion.

I, also, am constantly amazed by this. I really can’t use a PIM without a calendar feature. I think I do understand why its often down the list of priority features, though. Its probably a lot of work to implement unless you start with the calendar at the very beginning as one of your base features and branch outward into other areas later. I’m pretty sure that most of the PIMs that lack this feature or implemented it late started as outliners and are working outward from there.

The other reason for the absence of calendars in most PIMs, is the dominance of MS Outlook.
