I have a very limited knowledge in this field, but I would like to point out that in Thunderbird such task is performed by messages with attached ical files. So, why not to base meeting creation on opening ical (existing standard) data (as a file, for example)?

We need to spawn a "new meeting" editor in the client of the user's choice, pre-populated with meeting dial-in information, conference- specific attendees, etc. I've implemented a plugin for Evolution which supports this: dbus-send --print-reply --dest=im.pidgin.event_editor \ /im/pidgin/event_editor im.pidgin.event_editor.CreateEvent \ string:"Organizer <[email protected]> " \ string:"Meeting summary" \ string:"Meeting location" \ string:"Meeting description" \ array:string:[email protected],[email protected] Right now I'm shipping that Evolution plugin as part of my own code base, but I think it makes most sense to standardise the DBus API and split it out. Then it can be implemented in other calendar applications, and used from other places (like the Lync plugin for Pidgin, at least). Does it make sense for this to be a fd.o specification? _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
