Hmm... I assume the implemented format is per RFC 2445: "Internet 
Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar)"?  I 
downloaded it last night, but haven't had a chance to read beyond the 
table of contents (which lists both categories and priorities).

Ideally, they would be user-definable.  I might want 
school/computers/work, for example, whereas someone else might want 
Project1/Project2/etc.

Do you want me to {defer to,coordinate with} you on changes, or 
should I go ahead on my own?  (Not that that would be sooner than a 
week or two from now anyway.  I too have finals and graduation to 
worry about, and then I need to read the code to figure out how 
gnomecal works. :))
