Could we please have some more fields added to the calendar ics file that is linked in the Project-GC event notifier emails. Currently it tells me I am supposed to be somewhere but it does not say why. Or when. Could you please add these fields:

  • SUMMARY: Event name
  • DESCRIPTION: link to the event cache page (maybe also include full cache description (note that many characters need escaping, eg "," = "\," and crlf = "=0A")
  • Alarm
  • Time (might also require timezone IDs)

Example:

DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:https://coord.info/GCA1YAY=0A=0A01 January 2023\, 08:30 - 09:00
DTSTART;TZID=Pacific/Auckland;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230101T083000
DTEND;TZID=Pacific/Auckland;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20230101T093000
BEGIN:VALARM
TRIGGER:-PT60M
ACTION:DISPLAY
DESCRIPTION:Alarm
END:VALARM

In case it helps, here is a ics file exported from c:geo, which works perfectly.
