In a group scheduled calendar component, the STATUS property is used by the "Organizer" to provide a confirmation of the event to the "Attendees". Shouldn't PARTSTAT also be taken into account for an attendee's calendar? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Winship Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 7:57 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Tim Hare; [email protected] Subject: Re: Clarification for Free/Busy > > | STATUS of VEVENT > > | > >VEVENT in period | TENTATIVE | CONFIRMED | CANCELLED | not there > >and TRANSP | | | | > >=================|===================================================== > >No / (none) | FREE | FREE | FREE | FREE > >Yes/ OPAQUE | BUSY-TENTATIVE | BUSY-UNAVAILABLE | FREE | BUSY > >Yes/ TRANSPARENT | FREE | FREE | FREE | FREE RFC 2445 says "The value BUSY indicates that the time interval is busy because one or more events have been scheduled for that interval. BUSY-UNAVAILABLE indicates that the time interval is busy and that the interval can not be scheduled." So OPAQUE+CONFIRMED is BUSY, not BUSY-UNAVAILABLE, since the interval has been scheduled. BUSY-UNAVAILABLE is like "I'm on vacation during this period" or "This is a holiday" or "These hours are outside my work day". (Assuming a work-related calendar.) -- Dan
