Build backend system into calendar about apps HOT 11 CLOSED

Currently, the db is the single, hard wired backend, right? So basically you want to introduce an abstraction layer? Sounds as if this could also be used to include other remote calendars like google calendars.

Yes, that's exactly what it's supposed to be.
simple ics files on the web will be accessible by webcal backend
google calendar will be accessible by caldav backend

from apps.

And we would be able to write custom calendar sources as well, and I can finally have my college shedule parsed from the university website and displayed in ownCloud _

I just pushed the current implementation to the calendar/rework branch

from apps.

Implementing Webcal support is rather important as it's a deal-breaker for many that depend on external calendar subscriptions. Holidays, community events, government calendars aren't currently possible to import/subscribe to into OwnCloud.

This is sooo much needed !
@georgehrke how usable/functional is the current implementation ? Any schedule teasing ? ;-)
Hope the abstracted backend design will spread to all apps that could benefit it (contacts and tasks first if you ask me)

It's still in development. (It will be part of the calendar rework).
It's not working yet, but I try to spent every spare time I got on working on the calendar rework.
I hope to get it released with ownCloud 6, but I can't promise.
(I'm also looking for a second (JS) developer to help me)

The contacts app has it's own backend system. (LDAP and database).
The calendar backend system will also provide backends for tasks and journals.

Is sync between Google Calender close to completion? I notice @georgehrke you said that you were hoping to get it released for ownCloud 6. Did you manage this? I am currently trying to transition from Google products to self hosted solutions, I was hoping I could keep these sync while I made this transition.

This sounds great! It's this in oc7? Can you use another pair of hands/eyes? Regards, N.

This is not in ownCloud 7 yet. It's part of the rework which is still development, but there are only a few things missing for the rework to be merged into our master branch (which will become ownCloud 8).
There is a list of the open tasks: owncloud/calendar#558

Your help would be appreciated!
