Anyone know of any tools/programs created to import/export a Notes calendar to an iCal file for publishing to Internet users?
Subject: iCal Support?
First, if you send a calendar invite to an internet user (non-Notes), the Domino server should send them an iCal file automatically. Are you not seeing this?
Anyway, to answer your question, if you go to your Notes calendar view and copy an entry, you can then paste the iCal data into an email message, any text field, Notespad, etc. (as shown below)

Subject: iCal Support - Clarification
I think I’m being misunderstood here.
What I’m looking for is not unlike what Apple’s calendar sharing website does. This is a digest of a person’s calendar to a single file that can be imported to a thin client such as Mozilla or using a tool such as PHPiCal. This file would contain ALL of the user’s calendar events.
Updates to the iCal file (via WebDAB or some other protocol would then be translated back to Native Notes calendar entries. This way a user could use a standards based client such as Mozilla and be able to use iNotes on the road.
