Calendar Enhancements

I would like to load more calendar information up front so the browsing experience is much more enjoyable.

On page load, I would like to grab a few months forward and a few months back.

Then output multiple calendars that are hidden where the user can click the arrows and instantly scan for events across the surrounding months without having a page refresh or even an ajax call.

If the user browses passed the pre-fetched months in either direction, they get an ajax spinner and a few more months are fetched at that time, enabling them to continue scanning with only a small delay.

Clicking on a day with events, on the month, or the year will still cause the page to refresh, displaying and behaving exactly as the calendar does currently.

I think this is simple enough to add for the 1.5 release, but the challenge is fetching the events in an efficient way right?

We should definitely work together on this one.
