There is a problem with usability on repeated events. The UI says that the event should be repeated and should "Stop repeating after # occurrences".
The problem is that the count is the total count of events, and NOT the number of repetitions as the UI says. This confuses users and makes little sense. It's an off-by-one mistake...
It seems like the whole interface should be looked through, to check if the wording in general is correct for repetitions.

vorlon77 commentedThis is a common phrase for calendar programs and this should probably mean the same thing as it does on Google Calendar, MS Outlook, etc. It would be more confusing to users if something other than "after # occurrences" was used or if the number meant something different. So, if 3 was specified, then there should be a total of 3 events just like the UI says.

Someone (tm) might add some phrases that other calendars use here.
