Re: [Sml] Use case: Calendar availability

[Bogomil Shopov <[e-mail]>]

That's a fantastic idea.

- If a daily or a weekly view I think it will be easier to implement 
compared to the "browse" or expand view to look at bigger periods.

-  Also, would this be a static view or a dynamic(say caldav). Then the 
caldav must be publicly available, without an authentication.

I will be happy to work on this use-case and describe it further, 
becuase I% will use this a lot :)


Thanks Ben for sharing,
