HookUp Project

Introduction

The goal of the HookUp project is to deliver to the internet user community a global calendar system. Users will be able to go beyond simply managing their own appointments, events and meetings in isolation, or as part of a workgroup. They will be able to share their calendar with friends and family, collaborate with work collegues and be invited to events organised by third-parties that they express an interest in. The system will provide multiple user interfaces to make it as flexible as possible e.g. Website, Webservice, Outlook Plugin etc.
