== hCalendar publish and subscribe support == | |||
The iCal.app client on MacOSX has the ability to publish a calendar on a web page (using really bad markup), and subscribe to an ics file. This support though quite minimal/quirky is still useful. | |||
What would work well in today's web-centric world is the ability to publish your calendar (or a subset thereof, perhaps filtering by a 'tag'?) on the Web in [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar hCalendar], along with the venue/location as an [http://microformats.org/wiki/hcard hCard], and hCards for the organizer and any attendees as well. | |||
In addition, if you browse a page in Mozilla/Firefox that happens to have hCalendar events on it, or a feed in Thunderbird that has hCalendar events in it, it would be great if you could either (a) copy the event to your personal calendar or (b) subscribe to the URL with the hCalendar events and have the events show up as a dynamic calendar inside your personal calendar. | |||
Currently this works with hCalendar (and hCard for that matter, same as above, just s/personal calendar/personal addressbook) via a proxy that transforms the hCalendar/hCard to iCalendar/vCard, and favelets/bookmarklets that do the Copy/Subscribe operation. It would be much better to skip the proxy step, and just parse the hCalendars/hCards directly and into the calendaring/addressbook app. | |||
