Zadolbator

The Zadolbator software is a reminder component that is built for Jabber server. Its primary use is to remind users about important events such as birthdays or holidays, but it can also be used for everyday reminders such as meetings or tasks. The software utilizes iCalendar format to store events, so a basic understanding of iCalendar is required to operate it efficiently.

Zadolbator is available for download on sourceforge.net, where users can access the latest version and report any bugs or issues. The software is written in Ruby and is licensed under GPL.

The software is mainly designed for personal use, so users should not expect high quality or robustness. However, the software does work well and can be customized to suit individual needs. The developer may consider improving the software in the future if there are requests for it.

Zadolbator has several key features that users can benefit from including the ability to add, modify, and remove events in iCalendar format. It also allows users to manage subscriptions to events and sends notifications according to the ALARM section of an event. Zadolbator supports multiple users and can execute custom Ruby scripts when sending notifications. Two interfaces are provided, ad-hoc commands and message-based. The software is designed to be standards-compliant and should work with every Jabber server that supports components and every Jabber client (using ad-hoc commands requires support from Jabber client of XEP-0004 and XEP-0050).
