Hi Suresh,

Thanks for providing these to the list for general discussion.

We are planning to create a simple initial proposal to support calendar
'events' only. This is on the premise that it will be easier to add
additional types of calendar information as and when required/useful and
when we have locked down how an events-only based Calendar API works in
the first instance.

Suresh>> Correct!

Calendar appointment.

This suggests, I think, some cross-API dependency with the Contacts API.
Just wondering how we could handle that. If I implement the Calendar API
is it mandatory to also implement the Contacts API?

Suresh>> Good point. I also see a dependency with the messaging if we
were to send an invite message (e.g. via email). Perhaps we should
define the API in two levels, one which can be implemented independently
(with basic functionality of managing calendar data, and the second
level would be the integration with Contacts and Messaging.

In this instance I think it does make sense considering Calendar and
Contacts fall under the general PIM grouping.

I'm sure cross-module dependency, currently tracked as [ISSUE-25], will
be a question for other APIs that rely on e.g. the filesystem API going
forward so some direction on this issue for Calendar/Contacts intially
could be good.

Regards,

Richard
