My latest project
I think that, given a set of inputs, I'll be able to generate PDFs of Liturgy of the Hours for every day of the year. My tools: XML, XSLT, POF, SQL Server, Perl, Visual Studio. My theory: The liturgical year pivots on Easter and Christmas. Given those two days, I can calculate a list of feasts, and using the rules of precedence, figure out which feast or feasts ends up mapping to each day. Then output XML, transform it, print it, and you're golden.
It's got a shot.
