Document PLIP #246: View for rendering events as an iCalendar file

[dukebody]

Make it possible to subscribe to Plone events in the standard iCalendar format.

[dukebody]

From  https://svn.plone.org/svn/plone/review/plip246-ical-feed/README.txt :

"""

Needed documentation changes

Documentation of the "Event" content type should be updated to note the availability of the iCal feed view. """

Do we have any documentation describing available content-types?

This will likely include a change in the UI to enable this view per object instance.

I just updated the content types documentation with the new functionality:

 http://plone.org/documentation/manual/plone-3-user-manual/adding-content/adding-new-content/view

[dukebody]

Why did you add a new page to the "Adding Content" section instead of editing the "Adding Events" page?

Anyway, doesn't this fit better into the "Managing Content" section?

[dukebody]

That doc doesn't explain how to suscribe to them.

Anyway, it doesn't state this feature is only available from 3.3 on, and it's already published! IMO you should retract that doc and/or remove those lines until 3.3 is published.

Flagging tuneup since that's easy and fast to do.

[dukebody]

Describing how to use this announced feature is needed, too.

[dukebody]

What's new is the view to render all the events inside a folder as an iCal file.

More documentation needed. See  http://lists.plone.org/pipermail/framework-team/2009-January/002587.html

[dukebody]

I've copied the Adding New Content page and extended it to cover this new feature:  http://plone.org/documentation/manual/plone-3-user-manual/adding-content/copy_of_adding-new-content

Verified with Plone 3.3rc1.

I think this isn't the best place to put documentation for this feature, but I prefer to let Sam (or the editor of the Basic Use section) decide where should it go.

[dukebody]

Closing as I consider this feature documented.

Hey, you didn't close!
