Mimi, do you have thoughts about Mikeal's proposal?
If we come to an agreement on a change, can we create a task and SWAG it?
The current plan of record is to focus on interop in 0.7.1, scheduling
CalDAV related changes for that time frame would be appropriate.
Cheers,
Katie

Our experience right now when subscribing and publishing from other
CalDAV servers is pretty poor.
- We only support "sharing" and a "sharing" account. This is not only
alien to most CalDAV users it doesn't follow normal subscribe/publish
workflows from other clients.
- For every server that requires auth we need to add an "account" in
the account preferences.
- All of our current account options refer to "sharing", this in
contrast with language used in all other calendar clients. In addition
these options don't just publish the events in a calendar they put the
old chandler xml file up there and try to publish more than just
calendar data.
In most clients you simply select "subscribe" or "publish" on your
calendar collection and are prompted to enter a URL. The client
attempts to publish and if the server requires auth it prompts you for
auth.
Obviously this is in contrast to our current sharing workflows and
we're getting close to release. In the interest of keeping this simple
and nice for everyone I'd like to suggest a new "Publish to CalDAV"
and "Subscribe to CalDAV" option in either the Collection menu or the
Share menu that would follow the simpler usage described above that is
being implemented across every other calendaring client. It would be
great to have this in a released Chandler before the end of the summer
as the abundance of caldav servers and clients is about to increase
dramatically, obviously only if it's not too much work/effort to risk
our Preview schedule.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I don't know how much
of this can be done for Preview.
