But I have a new, related question for you guys, hoping someone can give 
me some pointers. We're trying to find out how to search for what 
_everyone_ in the organization is doing right now, and I thought places 
like the extended calendar search and team view would be a nice place to 
start. It seems that the SQL-queries being executed to display the 
search results are run in the template itself, and for the team view it 
gets run in the Manager subclass (DayTeamView). This makes me think that 
there is really no more "abstract" way of getting hold of this 
information. Or is there?
