Recurring events - retrieving/displaying the dates for the current "instance" of the event
I spoke briefly about this to a Drupal expert I know, and he suggested moving to using Views and the Fields view type as apparently the integration between the Date module and Views is very good.

At present, I'm using a View but also using Viewmodes and the preprocess field.  His point was that all of this could instead be accomplished by just using my existing content type, not using a custom viewmode but using the Fields view type.  And that this should be less buggy.
