Re: [gDesklets] Calendar help

Hi Joe,

in the last days I also wondered about converting the nice Calender 
display to be capable of doing a lot more.
Do I understand it right that you first want to convert the already 
builtin events into iCal format such that those
events may be used by other programs as well? Or that other programs 
which are able to produce iCal format
can be used to create the event list for the Calendar display?
Because I was thinking at least one step ahead ;)
I thought it would be quite cool to either use the already existing 
iCalenderEvent control or to program a new
control capable of communicating via CalDAV with any calendar server. 
(even if it first just means to make
external calendars readonly)
This would enable the display to subscribe to multiple calendar sources 
(e.g. google calendar or any private
calendar server). In my opinion and also for my purposes this should be 
somehow thought of (I already have an
own calendar server that helps me synchronize my smartphone with my 
desktop at work and at home...)

Are you also interested in features like this?
