Over here ... here http://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community?ftid=2266000000337629 ... it is mentioned that suggestions for Cycle #2 of the Community Driven Feature be submitted using a Template format.

This is a sample of the suggested Template ... provided by user niskypto (John Whitney) ... that refers to the winning entry for Cycle #1 ... hopefully, it will assist you in formulating your own suggestions for Cycle #2.

Suggestion: iCal Feed

Purpose: Enable an application to push event-oriented data to an external calendar (like Google calendar) via the iCal standard.

Motivation: The built-in calendar view is simplistic and has many limitations compared to other calendar applications. Building a custom html view may be possible, but would entail large complexities. While there may eventually be programmatic connectivity between Zoho Calendar and Creator, providing an iCal feed would be a logical first step AND significantly expand the scope and usability of Creator.

Example: A calendar represents a store's inventory of food by expiration date. Opening a specific event would display lot number, manufacturer, and re-ordering instructions. Using a food category on the input form, various views for different calendars by food category could be displayed, for example using color coding as in Google calendar.

Implementation: Found under More Actions>Export Data>iCal via a link like "http://creator.zoho.com/admin/appname/ical/viewname".

Issues: The iCal standard data format must be adhered to. Accordingly, there must be some specific requirements for mapping data fields into the standard ical manifold. Therefor, not ALL applications will be amenable to an ical feed.

Workaround: Rss to ical is claimed, but I have not found a satisfactory implementation.
