Status

I've written a basic importer which is included in EventAggregator 0.6 (since the functionality is not specific to this Wiki). This has been tested somewhat, although it hasn't been in sustained testing. -- pboddie 2010-07-05 23:49:52

EventAggregator now supports aggregation from remote event sources. It is proposed that FSFE events be aggregated either from the FSFE feed, subject to the iCalendar data including event URLs, or from GriCal.

Subtasks

This is a list of subtasks to do for the completion of the task.

  • (./) Test the importer locally, refine the behaviour if necessary

  • More sustained testing, feedback from independent testers.

Notes

A discussion about synchronisation of event information was held by e-mail between pboddie, mk, reinhard and ato, agreeing that events would still be created for the main site and imported into the Wiki using some kind of script.
