Categorising problems - importing and exporting
Issues with passing events around freely

- matching events from different sources? if details are slightly different
James to do sunday: import microformats to OpenACalendar or RSVP by webmention to OpenACalendar
CalDAV endpoint/server (Fran)

Recurring events aaaargh. (rhiaro has not dealt with these for her site yet)
Public events are being done... but private events could be harder (same as private posts)
Notifications/reminders for events on your own calendar. (kegan. rhiaro wants this!)
Inline RSVPs to indie events via micropub.
