Wotc has this nifty little tool online.
https://www.wizards.com/dnd/fc/index.htm
I've been using it and while helpful it does have its limitations. Looking at the underlying JavaScript it's pretty obvious the thing was written for IE 5+ support. I'm strongly considering modernizing that underlying code with these goals in mind.
I know several WotC employees haunt the board - would there be any interest in hosting a modernized version of this tool?
And who would I contact for permission to host the revised code in a git repo so that other programmers who want can contribute bug fixes as necessary.
Also, if anyone has any ancillary goals that would be interesting I can look into doing them. After all of the above is done one of the first things I will likely do if allowed is put in all the holidays that appeared in the various deity books. Another is a simple create birthday tool for new characters.

- Make the calendar responsive and scalable.
- Use the Local Storage API of current browsers to significantly increase the amount of notes the Dungeon Master can store on the calendar.
- Create a web app mode for mobile devices.
- Spruce up the look some taking advantage of embeddable fonts and svg files.
