This thread somewhat overlapped, so this is a repeat of 'Last call'  
based on this e-mail threadl: http://lists.osafoundation.org/

*Final Proposal for Subscription in 0.6*
When the user selects an application from the 'Collection Details'  
dialog drop down *OR* from the application drop down (subscribe  
pulldown behavior in the top right and corner of the app), it will  
always launch the 'Collection Details' dialog. With the exception of  
when the user selects 'download calendar and tasks (.ics file)'. The  
user will be able to select their application of choice from the  
'Collection Details', then copy and paste the URL in a text box (not  
hyper-linked because we are not allowing the user to auto launch) in  
order to subscribe.

The current proposal for drop down menus (both in the Collection  
Details & from the application drop down) are:

Subscribe with:
| Chandler |v|
| iCal 2x			
| Feed Reader
| Download calendar and tasks
| Other…

=====
Collection name: [xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] [Link icon - mouse-over: 'link to  
this collection']  -(name of collection is not editable if the user  
is not logged in.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Subscribe with Chandler -->  Collection Details dialog prompts,  
default to Chandler in the drop down menu -
Copy and Paste this URL to the Collection>>Subscribe... menu item in  
Chandler:
URL: [Subscription URL in text (not hyper-linked)] [Help]

Subscribe with iCal 2.x --> Collection Details dialog prompts,  
default to iCal 2.x in the drop down menu -
Copy and Paste this URL to iCal 2x >>Subscribe... menu item in iCal:
URL: [Subscription URL in text (not hyper-linked)] [Help]

Subscribe with Feed Reader --> Collection Details dialog prompts,  
default to Feed Reader in the drop down menu -
URL: [Subscription URL in text (not hyper-linked)] [Help]

Download calendar and tasks --> Downloads .ics file to Desktop

Other --> Collection Details dialog prompts, default to 'Other…' in  
the drop down menu -
Find out which protocols your application supports (ie. Evolution,  
Sunbird) and subscribe with the appropriate URL:
CalDAV: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx]
WebCal: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx]
Atom: [xxxxxxxxxxxxx]
