Hi Russell,

All it does is fetch your calendar and use the subject as headline and 
formats the date scheduled in the event so orgmode can pick it up.

On the exchange server side, i guess. But it's not used in my script.

It does write the result to stdout. I use a cronjob to execute it and 
redirect it's output into a file which is configured as agenda file in 
orgmode.

No. It's just exchange to orgmode. It does no sync at all.

Possibly to the OWA webinterface. But I'm not sure about that.

Wouldn't you prefer to discuss this on the list? Maybe others are 
interested too...
