37 +**Calendar aggregator**
38 +
39 +The WebHome of the application is an aggregated calendar which displays the events from all the calendars of a user.
40 +The user creates several calendars (e.g. Personal, Work) which can be visualized both individually and together, on the main page of the application.
41 +This is very similar to Google Calendar, following the same approach. The main advantage of this is the ease of interaction between users' calendars (e.g. sharing a calendar with another user means displaying the specific calendar among his own calendars, inside the WebHome).
42 +
43 +
44 +**Individual calendars with categories**
45 +
46 +The users creates calendars which are individual entities and each event is assigned a category when added.
47 +When the user is invited to other events he can choose to view those events in one or more of his calendars while when another user shares a calendar with him he can only view that calendar, on a separate page.
48 +The current technicalities are meant for this alternative.
49 +
50 +**Unique calendar/user**
51 +
52 +Every user has only one calendar. Events can be categorized just as above.
53 +For sharing the user has 2 options: share the entire calendar or share a category, which, as functionality, makes it similar to the Calendar aggregator alternative.

1 +I don't think we will need a livetable to list all the events since you can see/delete/edit all events in the year/month/week views. The calendar events are much powerful when they are in a timeline than seeing them in a list.
2 +
3 +Also I don't think is necessary the concept of categories when you can have multiple calendars. Right now in Google Calendar you can create multiple calendars and attribute each calendar a goal (have a personal one, a xwiki one, a birthday, etc). In this use case the concept of categories is replaced by multiple calendars.

1 +I agree with this.
2 +
3 +We should have a 2 views:
4 +1. Individual calendar view, that should be available on each calendar's space WebHome
5 +2. Aggregated calendar view for all the calendars and events that are visible to the current user. This could be a new tab in the user's profile (harder for an application to extend right now) or, alternatively, in the Calendar application's space WebHome (easier and makes the Calendar application space useful).
6 +
7 +The event livetable might be useful for an 'advanced search' functionality, allowing to filter events nicely.
