Yea, I have no idea what the "sent-resources" is meant to contain.
skyaptnotify is kind of a mess, IMHO.  That's why I created
<http://code.google.com/p/zogi/wiki/getNotifications>

Enable PG debugging in NSGlobalDomain and see if you can see
skyaptnotify dinging the database.

10 days if I recall correctly; but the maximum reminder advance is 8

Participants only.

Only if a reminder was selected;  if the user didn't desire a
reminder...

No. =20

We are sorely in need of an event (not event as in "appointment", but
event as in "something happened on the server") monitoring service.  I
created a primitive one called "MOGIMon"
<http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/OGoMojo/MOGIMon-HOWTO>
which we use to watch the OpenGroupware database.  Not real magic there.
A better solution would be to have a logs::changes-since Logic command
where all the log events since log event X could be pulled via an RPC;
that is essentially what MOGIMon does but using an ugly backdoor
connection to the Db.  I plan on creating something like this fairly
soon.

No problem.
