README: Flesh out the description with links to other aggregators
[pycalendar.git] / README
1 Flexible aggregation for iCalendar feeds (:RFC:`5545`).
2
3 The iCalender standard provides a common format for exchanging
4 calendar information.  This project aims to provide a library with a
5 clean API for aggregating and processing iCalendar feeds.  What you do
6 with that processed information is up to you.
7
8 There are a number of existing aggregators, ranging from the
9 closed-source `Google Calendar`_ to the open-source elmcity_ and
10 Calagator_.  However, I want a library that can work as an iCalendar
11 version of feedparser_, and `code for a web-frontend`__ is just dead
12 weight.
