Absence - Calendar for keeping track of people

'absence' is a calendar tool for keeping track of people (but could be adapted for any other object) on a daily basis. It is meant to replace the traditional whiteboard where someone has used a permanent magic marker to mark a matrix, and vacations/training/etc. are marked with non-permanent markers as blocks. 'absence' is a CGI system, and has a resolution of one day.

It is not meant for keeping appointments or for other activities that requires finer resolution. It generates an image for each month to be displayed using the GD library, and it can be configured to produce PNG or GIF (or even JPEG).
