vNotices Page

The CourtStuff.com feature called vNotices! is the next generation of my original eNotes! scheme. No features are lost or changed (just a name change for now!).

Future plans: There are currently specifications going through the Internet "Request for Comment" adoption scheme that specify items called "vCard" and vCalendar".These are methods for transferring Business Card and Calendar/Scheduling Information via the Internet as email attachments. Of particular interest is the vCalendar Spec because it will allow me to also send the actual calendar data along with the email notices you presently receive. The "email with the vCalendar attachment" is what I'm calling a vNotice! and when you receive the vNotice, if you have a Calendar/Scheduling program that is vCalendar "aware", your Calendar will pop-up with the Appointment, Date, Time etc filled in. You only need to accept it to add it to your Calendar.

Those of you who were at the DAYL "Dinner with the Civil Judiciary", October 27th, will recall seeing my demo of how this will work. For the rest of you - expect me to deliver it to you as a belated Christmas present during the 1st part of 1999.

Packages that are vCalendar/vNotice ready include:
Microsoft Outlook 98
Netscape Communicator 4 Professional Edition
Lotus Organizer 97 GS
Starfish Software Sidekick 98

Think your Calendar/Scheduler might be compatible
Click this vNotice link to see. (Clicking and/or Drag and Drop the ".vcs" file into your calendar should automatically make an appointment for 3pm on December 16th)
