[Scooby-dev] Re: [Design] Alpha4 goals from sharing spec

[Mikeal Rogers]

What about remote CalDAV calendars. If a Chandler user is subscribed  
to CalDAV calendars from multiple CalDAV servers it would be _really_  
nice if we could just store the subscription information and have  
scooby load those events from each subscribed collection/calendar,  
rather than syncing all the remote events through Chandler to Scooby.

If we did it this way, supporting other calendar subscription models  
(webcal, gdata) would slide in easily once we're ready to implement  
them.
