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: > [@date Support iCal Feed Sync in Discourse Calendar Plugin (Import from .ics URLs)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/support-ical-feed-sync-in-discourse-calendar-plugin-import-from-ics-urls/376245): > > i have successfully rebuild my Discourse instance🥲 Discourse’s official discourse-calendar plugin already supports .ics export, which is extremely useful for sharing Discourse events externally. However, many communities — particularly in education, government, or enterprise — rely on external iCal feeds to publish event information (e.g. from Moodle, Office365, Google Calendar, or institutional CMS platforms). At present, there is no built-in way to import or sync from .ics sources. This lim… 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! --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-events/97376)._
