Silo APIs Events in emails

Categorising problems - importing and exporting

Issues with passing events around freely
 * what is original source? For changes etc
 * 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)
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CalDAV
 * http://radicale.org/ (server) and most of the calendar clients

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.
