Lightning Updates
- Philipp was at calconnect, lots of good stuff happening there:
- Tested autodiscovery extension, good results for most servers
- Tested delgation/counter patches, UI is good but not fully functional yet
- Learned about some new and emerging standards
- Changing ical.js backend format to the JSON format proposed by some calconnect folks
- Lightning 1.9 betas were out early, which worked pretty nicely.
- Lightning 1.9 betas has some small regressions, but nothing major
