FAQ
---
Why doing a federated calendar when you can send around vCard files via email?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because this project is about much more than a plain calendar. Its also an event organiser,
where you will be able to collaborate with others making events happen.
Why is it not on GitHub/GitLab/any other popular hosting service?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because running my stuff is one of my hobby. I run my own Matrix homeserver, my own Mastodon
instance, why would my Git repositories be different? It might change in the future, though; Im
not an enemy of said services and if this project turns out to be successful I might move it away
from here.
