Forum OpenACS Development: Re: iCalendar and OpenACS Calendar

Thanks for the great reference. The ucal requirements doc is very helpful in thinking about the subject. I'm looking to see if they are publishing a datamodel for the message storage, etc. But the requirements look easy for OpenACS, although there are a lot of them.

I like your idea of providing an interface to the message store, I think ucal has the idea of an aggregator, which combines calendars from multiple sources.

Ucal also has an interesting idea of attaching calendars to 'resources'. In OpenACS terminology, this could just be any 'object'. Then you can view the object's schedule, and schedule the object. That might lead to a neat general scheduling package: schedule a person, room, workstation...
