Re: [Bodington-developers] google calendar

[Sean M. <se...@sm...>]

Hi.

We have thought of cal support in bod. The following is a non-ordered
subset of issues and ideas that are associated with these thoughts!-)

Google cal is cool, but beta. Students are definately going to use them,
but it isn't going to satisfy institntutional and probably much of the
group calendaring needs of people. You get three types of requirements in
calendaring: personal, group, institutional.

Google cal does except ical as a standard. Any i/f bod provides MUST
support ical (RFC 2445 methinks). another one in there for support should
probably be CalDav
(http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/site/dsonline/menuitem.9ed3d9924aeb0=
dcd82ccc6716bbe36ec/index.jsp?&pName=3Ddso_level1&path=3Ddsonline/0504&fi=
le=3Dw2sta.xml&xsl=3Darticle.xsl
and ietf.webdav.org/caldav)

I would think that for personal use, you need to be able to point to the
calendar(s, but s could be tricky!) you want, say google or other sites,
or use your bod as your store.

The bod store needs to optionally point to an external store, which might
be institutional.

Group calendaring needs to be able to propogate bod perms out to external
cals for editing. Might want this for personal as well, and google api,
for example, will support much of this.

A good candidate for an external store is http://www.bedework.org/ but it
needs some work to make it work the way we would want it to (tying into
bod with authN/Z for example.)
