Calendar Subscription Behavior

The following proposal defines a new behavior to subscribe to a WCAP calendar server like the Sun Java Systems Calendar. An account on this server is needed to subscribe to such a server.

Integration in the Thunderbird File-New-Account wizard

Lightning should be seamless integrated with the existing Thunderbird user interface. Therefore the File - New - Account Wizard should be extended by an option to create/add a new Calendar.

Lightning's Create New Calendar Wizard

If the user decided to add a calendar to Lightning, the Create New Calendar wizard pages are shown inside Thunderbird's wizard or as a separate wizards with the same dialog size and position.

New Subscribe Calendars dialog

The new Subscribe Calendars dialog allows to search for the calendar name, real name or e-mail address. The Search button could be replaced by an auto search feature i.e. when the user stopped typing for half a second.
