Calendar Coordination

There is an interesting potential for federated wiki to facilitate calendar coordination around finding a mutually convenient time to meet with others. Lots of people will have a calendar application that they use and most of these apps will allow them to either download or link to a public *.ics file on the web. This is using the iCalendar standard as described here on Wikipedia

See also Calendar From Links

The goal is to allow calendars to be aggregated on fed wiki, with both iCal asset files and public links, and then manipulate those calendars in useful ways and reflect back to the visitor visualizations of the aggregated calendars (things like a heatmap showing the best time for multiple people to meet)

Below are two ics files, one which should have just 2 singular events on it, and another with a single recurring event.

We will preview the contents of these ics files to see if we can incrementally make sense of them. github

Here are some iCal libraries that might be useful
