Comment(by vincentfretin):

 Hi,

 I sold the recurrence functionality to a customer, so I quickly needed
 something functional.
 I continued the plone.formwidget.reccurence widget, it serializes and
 deserializes the rfc string perfectly now, but it's not internationalized
 and there is no automated tests on it. The widget will be normally
 reimplemented by Rok for the next sprint
 (http://www.coactivate.org/projects/buschenschanksprint-2011/project-home)

 The plone calendar portlet is not functional with recurring events.
 Instead of using the portlet I use Solgema.fullcalendar which now supports
 recurring events from plone.event. This works really well.

 There are issues with the timezone field on the event content type, it is
 handled after the start and end dates, so it always default to the portal
 timezone. So for now, I only enable one timezone for the portal to not
 have weird issues.

 I will put a Plone 4.1b1 + plone.app.event site on production the next
 week with the current work status.
