Discourse Calendar (and Event)

Thanks Aurora — really excited to hear that native calendar work is active again!

We’d also like to surface one additional high-impact request that’s come up in a number of community discussions: iCal feed sync.

This was broken out into its own dedicated topic here:

The ability to subscribe to external .ics feeds (such as school timetables, civic calendars, or organizational events) and have them reflected in a Discourse topic calendar would make this feature vastly more useful for many real-world deployments. Without it, we’re forced to manually copy events over, which is error-prone and hard to maintain.

We’d really appreciate any comment from the Discourse team about whether parts of that proposal — like one-way iCal sync, feed refresh interval settings, or optional event tagging — are in scope for the upcoming implementation.

Either way, thanks again for breathing new life into Discourse Calendar — we’re looking forward to what’s ahead!
