There is no way for me to create an empty iCal calendar and dump everything into it. However, there are what iCal calls "Calendar Groups". When you use the iCal built in publish feature on a Calendar Group that contains many calendars within it, it will publish all of the events together. Can Spanning Sync use a Calendar Group as it's source?
The reason I want everything in one Google calendar is that all the data is actually from one calendar to start with and I'm trying to share that in a live manner that will keep others up to date vis Google. The primary source if Outlook 2011 on my Mac (really it's the corporate exchange server). I have Outlook 2011 using local Sync Services to update everything into iCal and that is working, but with one caveat. The caveat is that every "category" I have in Outlook appears on its own different calendar in iCal when it's synced. These categories, which are a way to label and color different appointments on a single calendar in Outlook, for some reason are split into distint iCal calendars and I can't stop that from happening (though I've asked Microsoft for that). I was able to move all the individual calendars in iCal from the categories into a single Calendar Group without breaking the synchronization. But I can't publish that anywhere Google can use it. My hope was that a smaller, more focused vendor like yourself would be able to accomodate that request for a feature. I'm assuming I'm not the only one who would want to do this.
