We would like to be able to upload our calendars to the dotproject calender so that we can find out when people are available.

It is too much work to manually try to enter each of my appointments to my personal and dotproject calender and then try to keep them synchronized....

How difficult would it be to add such a feature? Would this be of general interest?

A personal calendar may, for example, be Outlook or Ecco.

TIA

It will be addressed by the backup module I work on - if you find specifications on the formats, that would help me greatly.

I think that the easiest would maybe be to first export the appointments from anyones private calendar to a CSV file format.
Here is how it looks like from Outlook 2000 (with a single "test appointment" on July 16th):

"Subject","Start Date","Start Time","End Date","End Time","All day event","Reminder on/off","Reminder Date","Reminder Time","Meeting Organizer","Required Attendees","Optional Attendees","Meeting Resources","Billing Information","Categories","Description","Location","Mileage","Priority","Private","Sensitivity","Show time as"
"test appointment","7/16/2004","12:00:00 AM","7/17/2004","12:00:00 AM","True","True","7/15/2004","11:45:00 PM",,,,,,,,"",,"Normal","False","Normal","3"


From Ecco (my favorite PIM):
"Tenative meet with def","06/29/04 7:00p 8:00p"
"Meet with abc","07/02/04 10:00a 11:00a"
"lunch with efg","07/28/04 5:30p 8:00p"
