Hi,

I'm very interested in this PLIP, since I've being implementing such 
feature for several projects and would be great to have it shipped with 
Plone.

 From a first look at the review bundle, I have some suggestions:


- We should also support this view in collections/topics. I think it 
makes sense, since collections are a common way to list events from a 
plone site.

- Change the view name to "ics_view", which is the same name used for a 
single event. I find the current name ("calendar.ics") a bit confusing, 
because I would expect it to be the downloaded file's name, but that 
will be "[CONTEXT_ID].ics".

- I'm not so sure about it, but shouldn't we also support vCalendar? 
It's still provided for single events.

- Are there any plans to add a new document action for this feature?


Thanks for working on this :) and please let know if you need any help.


Ricardo
