Currently you can add an event which recurs every year, and we'll be
adding
categories so you will be able to say it is a 'Birthday' or
'Anniversary'.
But it would be nice to have a simple 'Add Birthday' command to do most
of
the work for you. (Though I wonder what happens for birthdays on Feb
29th.
iCalendar says just ignore events on non-existent days, but people
usually
celebrate their birthday on Mar 1st (?) on non-leap years.)

We also need a way of adding national holidays etc., just like Outlook.

I'll add these to the bugtracker.
