The current calendar plugin has no connection to calendars which are managed outside of Discourse. In our case we use a radicale server ( [Radicale v3 Documentation](https://radicale.org/v3.html) ) to manage users calendars which can then be shared on various devices and applications. It would be a huge increase of functionalitiy if the Discourse calendar plugin is able to read data from a caldav ressource and display its content dynamically inside of a topic.

I am not a ruby programmer, but this package may be useful for that (they also use Radicale as a test environment):
