Maybe this should be handled by the calendar server (it does not
preclude adding CORBA bindings to it, but I think using the standard
Internet calendaring protocols is the right thing here).

Preston Brown <pbrown@redhat.com> may be working on the IRIP part of
the protocol suite.  I really don't have time to work on ITIP, which
is the big part -- I would appreciate help on this.  

There are two important places you should know about if you want to
help with this:

	http://www.imc.org/pdi/ - the vCalendar and vCard stuff.
	vCalendar support in Gnomecal has to be finished (basically,
	fixing a couple of bugs in the vCal data generation,
	supporting categories and attendees).

	http://www.imc.org/ietf-calendar/ - All the gory details of
	iCalendar, ITIP, CAP, IRIP, IMIP, and friends.

Preston asked me to set up a mailing list to discuss this, so I'll
make sure it is created and get back to you.
