So I made this door: https://github.com/hmderdoc/CalenDoor/releases

This is a cool idea.

100% agree in spirit and is something I'm thinking about as far as implementation details, currently I'm bundling a public
calendar for which I'm an admin for but that's very manual - there could be some automation around the shared calendar but it
probably would live outside the door. I'm happy to add events manually at this point to that calendar or give people access toit. There's also another way to potentially share calendars which would be making a pull request on github with your
calendar's URL in the sample .ini file. It'll then be bundled with the door.

So there's a few ways to skin that cat, none seem perfect to me yet - I can definitely build some sort of API to handle
managing calendars but trying to think if there's a more BBS like way to share calendars like tossing messages.


Cheers!

Use the SYNCDATA echo? Seems like a good solution for that kind of asynchronous synchronization (over a network... see what > did there?).

I see what you did there :) ... Really SYNCDATA would be a perfect place if it were Synchronet only but its multiplatform door,so for those non-dovenet users I guess they could toss stuff in different data subs for those networks.

Other BBS platforms can (and do) use the SYNCDATA echo (on DOVE-Net and FidoNet, it's gated) to share door/game data.
