It would be nice if the "month" type calendar could collect all of the 
matching pages on a given date in some inline type way. --[[DavidBremner]]

Is it possible to get the calendar to link to pages based not on their timestamp (as I understand that it does now, or have I misunderstood this?) and instead on for example their location in a directory hierarchy. That way the calendar could be used as a planning / timeline device which I think would be great. --[[Alexander]]

I would like the ability to specify relative previous months. This way I
could have a sidebar with the last three months by specifying no month,
then 'month="-1"' and 'month="-2"'. Negative numbers for the month would
otherwise be invalid, so this shouldn't produce any conflicts with expected
behavior. (Right?) -- [[StevenBlack]]

Anyone know of a way to generate a link to the previous and next calendar pages for archive browsing?  In the worst case, that requires regenerating pages on either side of the current one when something is inserted in the history, and I can't quite figure that much out. --[[JasonRiedy]]
