Let's try to be more productive here rather than keeping with the rant.

Help me understand what IS and what IS NOT working.
  • Does syncevolution CalDAV work at all? Not the GUI, but the backend?
  • If it DOES work, how WELL did it work?
  • What EXACTLY did you try (and screenshots, too) so that I can see what you mean. I have not used CalDAV before, only SyncML. I can test the same thing you are doing and thus feel your pain.

then connects to the service and let you either easily link all remotely available stuff to your existing local datastores, or even set this up four you, in that it creates necessary local calendars etc.
This is productive feedback. If CalDAV works in the syncevolution backend, then a new GUI with limited scope that does what you want should be straightforward to write.

If the current syncevolution backend DOES WORK, then I offer my help to work with you to write a GUI that works in the way that makes more clear sense for you (and hopefully benefits other members here, too).
