Calendar Subscription Behavior
The following proposal defines a new behavior to subscribe calendars on a calendar server like the Sun Java Systems Calendar (WCAP) and some CalDAV servers. A WCAP Server requires an account on the server to be able to subscribe to calendars on 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.
Lightning's Create New Calendar Wizard – Step 2 for Network Calendars
The protocol definition gets removed and the protocol is determined automatically by Lighning. Users do not care about protocols or formats.
Calendar Menu: Subscribe Calendars
The main menu of lighnting gets extended by a new entry "Subscribe Calendars..." if a WCAP or suitable CalDAV server is present. (above the Print Calendar entry)
The context menu offers a new entry "Subscribe Calendars..." if a WCAP or suitable CalDAV server is present.
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.
