That would be correct. It is an iCal object implementation.

It will eventually do parsing, but right now we are focusing on using it
for a web bvased calendar.

I am not sure of the status. I picked this standard because Mozilla could
read it, at least according to the website.

The simple answer is yes.

I am working on this, however, work on the code has slowed down due to
time constraints plus I am trying to balance the demand for a calendar
against the demand for better install documentation. Right now there seems
to be more demand for a more concise install document

If you would like to help out just fire off an email here to the list with
the parts/functionality you would like to help with.
The status of the code is this. Properties, parameters, and a couple of
the business objects are complete. A subset of fields are currently tied
back to the database for storage. The business logic for each object,
property and parameter is started but not yet compliant to spec.
On the web based calendar presentation front we have a set of xsl
transformations which will render the content of a event objects and todo
objects.
Hope this helps....
