217553 - Develop a Container to hold neutral Calendars and Events

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Young]

we need an implementation agnostic way of hooking in different types of
calendars into the Calendar Application. 

Currently, the Container performs a bunch of ical specific calls (which made
sense when ical was the only implemented calendar) and treats all events as if
they had the feature set of an ical event.

We need a container that works with events in a neutral way, only expecting the
most basic of features, with others being "extras" that the UI will handle. THen
we can expand the Calendar to support other types of systems.

Attachment: Container Interface IDL

here's our proposed IDL for our "calendar neutral" container.

Queries are handled through our query interface and then passed to the
container for processing.

Comments and suggestions are encouraged.

PSU is no longer funding students to work on mozilla :-(

The bugs we were working on (with the exception of bug 188660 are now irrelevant
with the massive backend changes that were made to the calendar.

Resolving.
