OK, but that's not a real useful place for it for those of us trying to 
decide if it's worth the time to download and compile the whole xfce 
release.  Can I suggest that somebody pull the documentation out of the 
code a put it on line?

Thanks, that answers my question.

If it really is just a .ics file, though, it seems like a simple 
work-around for "publish only" applications would be to simply use rsync 
or something to push the .ics file to the webdav server.  Unless I'm 
missing something??
