+ <title>Scheduling With the Evolution Calendar</title>
+ <para>
+ The <application>Evolution</application> calendar allows
+ you to schedule events for yourself or a group of people.
+ It can handle events that repeat, event lengths from ten
+ minutes to multiple days, and events that have a date but
+ no specific time. You can set overlapping events, although
+ <application>Evolution</application> will warn you about
+ trying to do two things at once. You can also set event
+ reminders so that you don't forget about everything you've
+ just put into your calendar. Basically, it can handle almost
+ any schedule you throw at it.

+ While looking at the calendar, select <guimenuitem>New

+ Appointment</interface> dialog will appear. (INSERT
+ DESCRIPTION OF INTERFACE HERE: Date, Time, Recurrence,
+ Reminders, and Tentative/Confirmed)

+ You can alter those settings later by clicking once on the
