Re: Proposed: evolution-webcal

[Rodney Dawes <dobey novell com>]

Because you don't need evolution to use it. It subscribes you to web
calendars. It doesn't create or publish them. It allows you to install
evolution-data-server and subscribe to remote calendars, if the only
thing you want a calendar for, is to see the Sox schedule in your clock
applet, for example.

There are other issues, in that it isn't possible to disable or delete
these calendars, without evolution, but I think that is a problem that
the clock applet or other similar apps should take care of. The entire
point of this utility is to subscribe to web calendars, and not require
a running evolution (or even an installed evolution), to do it.
