A user input, indicating the occurrence of an event, is accepted. Availability information is parsed out of the user input and published to an availability file located on a file server connected to a publicly accessible wide area network. The availability file is maintained in a commonly-recognized file format. Others can access the availability file over the publicly-accessible wide area network to ascertain the user's availability to participate in a proposed event, such as attendance of a proposed meeting. These parties, however, do not have access to the user's details of the occurrence of the event.Other References
