When a calendar is shared, before edits are committed we check that it is
possble to lock the file and that the event we want to save was not edited
externally. If any of the above fail then there is only a simple alert and the
user must retype the edits. A couple of confirmation dialogs will be helpful.
The one in case of a lock failure is simple (retry/cancel) but the one when
there is a concurrent edit is more complex since we should show the differences
before asking if we want to overwrite. This confirmation/dialog will be also
beneficial for syncing.

yep

I wonder if we are able to support it? I guess Sunbird needs cope with server what means that must be some API or specification for it, right?

We don't the the kind of sharing the initial comment mentioned anymore. (and if we did, we should not pop up dialog all the time, but just do the right thing silently, like auto-retry when the lock could not be obtained)
