RSS-like feed for calendar events in Plone

Question

Is there any kind of standard or recommendation synching calendar events between CMS sites?

• Plone site would produce this feed from its Event content type

• Other site(s) could embed this feed to their own calendars, so that one could merge events from many different sources (Google Calendar, to name one)

• The feed update would be automatic over HTTP and one would not need to run manual calendar event export/import dump cycle

Answer 1

Mikko, as of Plone 3.3, PLIP 246 was merged, so Collections of Events should expose an iCal feed, which you can access by appending ics_view.
