Generate a Google Calendar compatible feed

Question

I'm trying to build a Google Calendar compatible feed (atom), that users can subscribe to and use to receive updates, but everything I've read so far involves communicating with Google using the GData APIs. I just want to provide a feed url that can be added to Google Calendar if the user chooses to do so.

When I tried adding the <gd:where> and <gd:who> elements to a 'normal' atom feed, it broke in my feed reader.

Am I going about this the wrong way? Is there some other way to do this?

Answer 1

I may be being dense, but if you are trying to provide users with calendar info, would it not be a better idea to use the ICS format?

Answer 2

not really an answer but the Rome API may be useful

Answer 3

If you use Firefox and view the source of a Google Calendar feed and then as it to a server it will not work. Why not?

Try it your self.
