One of our users would like us to implement an import
and export of ical and/or vcal files. He is using korganizer
for his daily work and says this would help him to
synchronise structured task list.

As I have no experience with korganizer, I can't tell how
helpful this could be. The thing is that exporting and
importing on daily basis presents a considerable
overhead, as it seems to me.

Anyway, if these two formats ical and vcal are XML
formats, XSLT could be written to do the work.
However, part of the data could be lost during the
transformation to MM, and then back from MM. If we
add a new entity <tag/> or <attribute/> as suggested
elsewhere, the problem of losing part of the data during
the transformation to and fro should be solvable, and
that even if we do not add any GUI for handling these
attributes. As a result, implementing of these attributes
without having GUI to handle them could be a first small
step already bringing added value.
