Re: [Chandler-dev] Custom recurrence dialog

Hi Folks,

Re: the first occurrence not being included in Chandler, Katie said:

Yeah, it kind of sucks that dateutil decided to implement the RFC's 
definition of rrule in almost every way except this.

When I originally wrote vobject, this bothered me so much I wrote code 
to always create an RDATE to match DTSTART, so the rules would match. 
But that turns out not to really solve the problem, and it causes a 
bunch of hassles in Chandler if you later decide to change what day the 
first occurrence is on.

I think fixing this would basically require some major revisions to 
dateutil.  I periodically think of doing that, because I'm convinced we 
could get a fair amount of performance improvement from updating it (and 
we could make it easier to read/hack/update, to boot), but it's never 
gotten near the top of my priority list.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
