Ah, I actually looked at that too, but two drawbacks at the moment:

- Need to have a Java server to run it (if I get it)

- According to the product page, it only does milestones, or "extracting a 
calendar from the Planner calendars with a given list of day-types to 
process" (not even sure what that results in)

I'm definitely open for a serious proposal by someone. If it can all be 
done with XSLT, it could be used from various web platforms or command line 
tools.

It will also probably result in several other new feature requests for 
Planner by me, so beware ;-)
