iCal Integration
Integration with other data sources is one of the most important features for intranet calendar and scheduling systems. People got used to different desktop or web applications, such as Microsoft Outlook or iCal on Mac OS X, or Google Calendars. And they all support one cross-application format - the iCal format for storing and exchanging events.
*iCal format specification is over 1,000 pages, but it is rather simple ?
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt
We plan 3 steps to implement 100% iCal compliance:
- CalendarPro -> iCal (event)
export separate events as iCal files. Already implemented.
- CalendarPro -> iCal (calendar)
export all events form into iCal format calendar, that is possible to read with Outlook, Mac OS iCal app or publish as iCal subscription on the web. Will be included in v2.0
- CalendarPro <-> iCal
migrate from XML format (currently XML format is used to store events for CalendarPro) to iCal format. All events are stored in iCal file that is updated and stored back on the server, when users make changes to calendar events. iCal compliance means much complicated recursions, local or specified timezones, and many other particularities that will bring CalendarPro to a new level of cross application compliance and data exchange opportunities.
