<p>I have a very limited knowledge in this field, but I would like
to point out that in Thunderbird such task is performed by
messages with attached ical files. So, why not to base meeting
creation on opening ical (existing standard) data (as a file, for
example)?<br>

<pre wrap="">As part of a conference protocol plugin for Pidgin (like the one for
Lync), we have the ability to create meetings.
We need to spawn a "new meeting" editor in the client of the user's
choice, pre-populated with meeting dial-in information, conference-
specific attendees, etc.
I've implemented a plugin for Evolution which supports this:
dbus-send --print-reply --dest=im.pidgin.event_editor \
/im/pidgin/event_editor im.pidgin.event_editor.CreateEvent \
string:"Organizer <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:dwmw2@infradead.org"><dwmw2@infradead.org></a>" \
string:"Meeting summary" \
string:"Meeting location" \
string:"Meeting description" \
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:array:string:attendee1@example.org,attendee2@example.org">array:string:attendee1@example.org,attendee2@example.org</a>
Right now I'm shipping that Evolution plugin as part of my own code
base, but I think it makes most sense to standardise the DBus API and
split it out. Then it can be implemented in other calendar
applications, and used from other places (like the Lync plugin for
Pidgin, at least).
Does it make sense for this to be a fd.o specification?</pre>
