That's really great to hear! FYI, there's been a lot of updates to FC's API since those posts, including removing jQuery. Also, recurring events are built-in https://fullcalendar.io/docs/recurring-events

um yeah... i misread the article, didnt think he correctly linked to you, just thought he called you a "non-famous programmer dude". sorry, should have been more thorough (but i never imaged this post would get ranked so high -- who knew) j

id say fake steve is sort of a blog version of the daily show / colbert report for tech news. its ridiculous and cynical, but sometimes very true. however, this particular story is just silly fluff. thought news.yc might get a kick out of i

thanks! yep, its all php and mysql. we imagine 'orgu' means something like organization-universe or (you guessed it) organization-university, but in reality we wanted to pick as short a name as possible so groups using the .orgu.com subdoma

we're not so much in the 'group communication' space as the 'web publishing' space. our main goal is to make interesting/useful/rich websites (though we may harness group communication for content). we want these websites to be valuable for

even though we have launched, we aren't trying to attract major pr yet. we want to beef up a few features a little more first, but when we do, we're thinking (besides announcing on the standard internet portals) to talk to some large nation
