There is a possibility to import .CSV file content into tiddlers, which 
probably solved many "batch import" problems. 
The .tid and tiddlywiki .json format is easy enough to be created by many 
systems. ... So I think batch processing was solved that way. 

Your desire is a bit different.

I don't think so. .. but there are several "calendar" projects.

We (I) don't want to "calm you down", if that is what you wanted to write. 
It's always good to see ideas and problems, that new users have. 
So just keep posting ;)

Yea, we could have had the same discussion at your other thread. IMO vCARD 
and iCAL formats are similar enough to be parsed by the same code. ... The 
usecases are different. 


As you wrote in your OP:

...made me think, that you need a lot more and different functionality from 
TW, that it actually has. eg: Activate the call-app from within a TW 
contact. 

Also exchanging vCards with other systems ... Which basically means, that 
we need a proper UI in TW to deal with that kind of info. ... and so on. 

have fun!
