Federated sharing for calendars and contacts

[schiessle]

I created a issue at the contacts app (https://github.com/owncloud/contacts/issues/258) and the calendars app (https://github.com/owncloud/calendar/issues/357) repository to illustrate the idea.

I'm not a CardDAV/CalDAV expert but from what I understand both protocols should support almost everything needed for federated sharing of calendars and address books. So most code would probably be part of core and the apps would just have to accept federated cloud ids at the share dialog and pass it over to core to create the share.

What do you think?

I assume the expectation is that we really "suck in" the calendar and contacts information basically as a clone - right?

This can be rather easily implemented because this is what we do already with respect to syncing the system addressbooks of federated clouds.

Yes, my idea was to work similar to CardDAV/CalDAV desktop/mobile clients and just sync the calendars and contacts Think that's the best way, also for performance reasons.
