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.

The protocol definition should be removed as soon as we could auto detect the protocol used by the server. Users do not care about protocols.

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.
