</div>Yes, but it's kinda like rss: there's a standard (RFC2445 if i'm not<br>
mistaken) but many existing ical feeds are not entirely conforming to<br>
this standard..<br>
<br>
Anyway, just merging the ical files is step 1. Step 2 would be to have<br>
custom ical files generated based on preferences such as 'show me<br>
everything within 500km from The Hague, NL'. One problem with that is<br>
that not many ical files include machine-parseable location data. There<br>
is the GEO tag to add a lat/lon specification, but I don't think i've<br>
ever seen an ical file implementing it.<br>
