Shammond42
Not so much a feature request as an app announcement, but I didn't want it to get lost in the API category... http://tools.lostpapyr.us
I created a new tool that will create a wiki page, in your campaign, with a game world calendar on it. We support the real world calendar (Gregorian), as well as Golarion, Forgotten Realms and Greyhawk. There isn't a ton of formatting on the calendar, so you are free to modify and change it to suit your campaign.
You need to be a Twitter or Facebook user to use the tool, but you don't have to give me passwords for anything. I won't post anything to your feed or wall. Though, if you wanted to tweet or promote that would be awesome. Also,donations to help me cover hosting costs are appreciated.
Consider this beta, and you can find it at http://tools.lostpapyr.us.
Thanks,
Steve

This is what I've played with for about 15 minutes for my new Serenity RPG Campaign: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/wncfirefly/wikis/game-calendar-2517 What I've created so far is not quite how I want it to look, but until tweeks are made, it meets my needs. It's formatted in html (I think -- novice here!), but can be replicated in Textile.
My campaign is set in 2517, so my calendar is set for that year. Since I don't know what shammond42 used to figure out months and days in the future, I can only assume the dates/days are correct for such a time frame (not that my players would notice). Going to http://tools.lostpapyr.us gives you options for other calendar types, but I haven't played with those (only the "real world calendar").
Also, if you use FB to sign up you can make the settings not post to your profile. I have mine set to "only me" being allowed to view things, but I can't even see them on my profile. I have a very, uber-private page so I can understand your concern. So far, I've not had any qualms.
Savanna, I have added Google account support to my feature list. I don't have an ETA on it, but it shouldn't be too far away. I am finishing the Chronicler tool, and fixing a tough bug I found while testing the API's after the Rails upgrade on OP.
Thanks,
Steve
Thanks so much; I'm looking forward to seeing your other tools!

ImmortalDM, would you be willing to share the textile markup for yours?
