View the site at https://devguide.calconnect.org CalConnect DEVGUIDE Technical Committee Background iCalendar [RFC5545] is a calendaring and scheduling data interchange format designed to promote interoperability between digital calendaring systems. However, calendaring, by its very nature, is complex. Things like recurring events, time zones, multi-party scheduling, and more, all lead to complex scenarios. This complexity is fully exposed in iCalendar, and implementors of digital calendar systems that use it, need to be fully aware of these issues in order to correctly use it. Evidence to date has shown that there are a number of key areas that consistently cause problems for implementors. In addition, many implementors are put off by the perceived complexity of iCalendar, instead inventing their own, initially simplistic, calendaring data formats, that eventually fall foul of the same issues iCalendar has already addressed, as more calendaring features are added. Interoperability is best served by having one solid standard for data interchange - iCalendar - with good examples and descriptions of how it is properly used, and how it can be used for simple situations as well as more complex ones. Charter The goal of this TC is to develop a \"cookbook\" document that describes how to start using iCalendar to build basic events and then move on to more complex calendaring and scheduling problems.
