Welcome to the future of DAViCal :-)
Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the DAViCal Developers mailing list!

I believe its time now to add a little more structure to the ongoing
development of DAViCal, and in particular to allow for some discussion
around implementation priorities and release timeframes, and so on.

So I've created this mailing list for that discussion, in contrast to
the existing mailing list which I see as more for user discussions - and
which I kind of hope that ultimately some people other than me will take
greater levels of responsibility for so I can concentrate more on
solving people's future ones less on their immediate ones!

Partly I have created this list as an act of recruitment. You all
realise that the discussion on here will be about the future of DAViCal,
and it may well be technical, about the CalDAV and related
specifications, and you're here because you like reading that stuff.

I'll start by suggesting a few things that I am hoping to work on in the
coming month or two:

Firstly, I have a client who may pay me to implement calendar
availability. If this happens then obviously it will become my first
priority and we can expect to see it fairly soon.

Barring that, my immediate priority is to (finally) get the invitation &
acceptance parts of the CalDAV Scheduling extensions implemented.

Next on my list is to get the permissions aligned with RFC3744, and in
particular to allow for more granular granting of privileges (i.e. per
calendar) and so forth.

So what are the rest of you interested in?

Why did you sign up for this mailing list?

If you're looking at DAViCal from the point of view of a CalDAV client
project then what issues do you see at present? What should we be doing
now to ensure DAViCal works well with future releases of your client?


I'm flying off to Spain now, and I expect I'll be checking my e-mail
every second day or so until I get to Debconf9 in Caceres on the 16th,
when I expect to have good connectivity again.


I don't want to have to respond to every idea on this list immediately -
if possible I'd like to observe the brainstorming for a bit before I try
and bring reality to bear on it all, so this is a good time to start the
discussion.


Thanks for your interest in DAViCal. I hope that together we can
continue to build this application, and to help small to medium
enterprises solve their calendaring needs in a straightforward manner.

Cheers,
Andrew.
