Hi all,

I am trying to find my way in the jungle of plone events management and I am
facing to a major gap in the plenty of possibibilities kindly offered by the
Plone Developper's community.

Is there any SIMPLE and RELIABLE solution to import events encoded in a
stadard .ics file (ical standard) to Plone ATevent ??

The product which is closest to my wishes is mxm_ical, BUT i have following
issues :

-  it's importing CMF events and not ATevents (it's outdated in my opinion),
so a lot of informations are lost by importing, because both types don't use
the same field names; 
-  I experience problems with time zones  (it displays in my local time or
in UTC depending on the 'view' on the Event object), I think it's due to the
fact mxm_ical doesn't convert the UTC time contained in the ical file to a
standard '2007/07/06 18:00:00 GMT+2' time format.

I tried to develop my own adapter (which manages the 'translation' from ical
file to any Plone Content type in mxm_ical_tools), but I am pretty new in
python and plone, so I suffer a lot.

Help, help, hep!!! Thanks a lot!

p.s.: my instal= Plone 2.5.3 CMF 1.6.4 Zope 2.9.7 Python 2.4.4
