[Jmap] [JMAP] CalendarEvent/parse proposition for the JMAP Calendar draft

[René CORDIER <[e-mail]>]

Hi guys,

At Linagora we have an internal need of showing what we call a blue bar on top of Calendar event emails that you receive. It would allow the client to show the user details of a Calendar event he received in a nice and generic way when reading the corresponding email (because Calendar email sent events are not formatted the same way depending of the calendar).

We came up with a custom method called CalendarEvent/parse. It would allow to parse a .ics calendar file attached to the mail to extract properties defined in RFC5545 to allow client to show events from different calendars in the same way. 

For more details, we have a document that defines our custom method here: https://github.com/linagora/tmail-backend/blob/master/docs/modules/ROOT/pages/tmail-backend/jmap-extensions/calendarEventParsing.adoc

Regarding the implementation, we just finished to integrate it on our backend server, but not yet on the front.

We were just wondering if this would interest the JMAP IETF community group? As part more precisely of the Jmap Calendar draft (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-jmap-calendars/), or as an extension, or ...? Just let us know if you think it could be an interesting method to add, and we would be happy to help contributing it ! (of course with the necessary changes to fit the stye of a RFC).

Don't hesitate if you have any feedback or questions, and thank you for your attention.

Cheers,

Rene.
