- App: Calendar
- Review Date: 2014-05-11-2014-07-07

Overview
Architecture
The app uses a custom Model View Controller (MVC) framework, templating system and storage layer.
Source Code
The source code of the app is hosted at GitHub, as part of the gaia repository. All external libraries are located at js/ext/ (relatively to the root of the app). The following external libraries are used:

- jsical: Parses iCalendar data
- NotAmd: An extensible loader system, used to load the calendar's dependencies
- page.js (Documentation): An Express-(Framework)-inspired client-side router
