Welcome to the etm (event and task manager) discussion forum. Messages and replies can be read by anyone and posted without moderation by members. Non-members can join by submitting a message or reply for moderation. The new version is available at github and at PyPi. In both cases, the name has been changed to etm-dgraham to comply with the new PyPi "project-author" format. Short videos about the new version will be listed here as they become available.
