[RavenclawDev 275] Re: datetime support for day ranges

[Antoine Raux]

Hi Svetlana,

It is definitely a good idea to incorporate date ranges in DateTime.

Unfortunately, this is the messiest agent in Olympus (in terms of code) and
completely undocumented... It is directly inherited from the CMU
Communicator project with additions from about every system we've built
since then. I guess you'll just have to ask questions through this list. If
you want, after you've had a look at it, we could have a short telephone
meeting about it, if it helps things go faster...

Hi Svetlana,

We were about to move that to the subversion repository last week, but 
then our RAID server crashed. It's back up now. I'll do that one first. 
I'm guessing that we can have it up on the repository by sometime Monday.

Thanks,
-Thomas
