Questions tagged [vcalendar]

vcalendar was the preceeding standard prior to icalendar (rfc5545 which obsoleted rfc2445).

icalendar RFC (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt) states "This memo is based on the earlier work of the vCalendar specification for the exchange of personal calendaring and scheduling information. In order to avoid confusion with this referenced work, this memo is to be known as the iCalendar specification."
