Creation history

I started thinking about this project when I was finishing my Ph.D. in
Astrophysics... It started to be a little hard to organize myself, and I really
needed a good tool to help me in that difficult task ;)
Frederic started thinking about this project when he was finishing his Ph.D. in
Astrophysics as it started to be a little hard to organize himself and he
really needed a good tool for managing his appointments and todo list.
Unfortunately, he finished his Ph.D. before finishing `calcurse` but he
continued working on it, hoping it would be helpful to other people.
I like programs which use Text User Interfaces, because they are simple, fast,
portable and efficient, so I thought about working on coding a simple calendar
using such an interface. Moreover, I wanted to go on learning the `C`
language, which I only used for a while during my undergraduate studies. So I
thought that would be the good project to start in order to get organized and
to learn about a few `C` things !
In mid-2010, Lukas took over development of `calcurse` and is now the main
contributor and reviewer of patches.
Unfortunately, I finished my Ph.D. before finishing `calcurse`, but anyway, I
still wanted to work on it, hoping it would be helpful to other people. So
here it is...
But why _calcurse_ anyway ? Well, it is simply the concatenation of _CALendar_
and _nCURSEs_, the name of the library used to build the user interface.
