[Typo3-marketing] Online shared calendar & tools for typeheads??

[Daniel Hinderink [TYPO3]]

Hi Steve,

That's a very good idea. We already have a protected area for typeheads on
typo3.com, but it could do a lot more for us.

This means some frontend upload function, which, like a fe-editable calendar
is not freely available.
I will see what I can do in april about this.

Thanks!
