"sync" is not the correct word to describe a CalDAV client's interaction with the server. "sync" means that the client makes a series of local changes and then later synchronizes its state with that of the server. what really happens, with Lightning, Sunbird, and iCal 3, is that when a change is made in the client, the change is sent directly over to the server. when the view is updated (scrolling between weeks, for instance), the client performs a query against the server. the client probably does some caching, but this is transient data that can be blown away without any data loss, as opposed to a syncing client's local repository, which is a "source of truth" until the next sync. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "Design" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/design
