Integrate Federated Sharing into the Calendar App
Created by: schiessle
Since ownCloud 8.1 we have the concept of federated sharing for files. You can share a file with any user on any server by sharing it with <user>@<ownCloudServer>
. We can even auto-complete this user IDs from the contacts app and from system wide address books synced between ownClouds.
I wonder if this wouldn't be a nice feature for the calendar app? Imagine if I could share a calender with any user at any ownCloud with the same federated cloud ID I also use to share files.
I'm not a CalDAV expert but this is how I think it could work:
- A ownCloud specific API would be used to send a shared calendar to a remote ownCloud server
- The remote server would basically receive a CalDAV URL and a auth token
- The remote server would then integrate the external CalDAV calendar by standard CalDAV techniques.
Opinions?
