Nuno's post is probably the best documentation:
http://collab.sakaiproject.org/pipermail/sakai-dev/2009-September/003819.html

"The external calendar subscriptions feature work in Sakai, but, AFAIK, it

still has some (big) limitations:

- doesn't support full event days;
- doesn't support events not defined with <VEVENT>;
- doesn't support re-occurring events;
- doesn't support events without end time

Most of these issues are limitations of the library used (ical4j) and the ical import feature from the Schedule tool."

Most of these issues have specific jiras against schedule. I believe that events of this type just won't show up in the sakai calendar. You really just want to stick with events that have specific start and end dates/times.

Thanks Matthew.  I'll check it out in a couple of hours.  This has been really helpful.

Is there any documentation about the format of the feeds that Sakai is expecting?

This feature was added in SAK-12852. There are cache settings, and it looks like the default is 2 hours.

# 4. Subscription cache settings (optional)
# Institutional subscription defaults: reload every 120min
# User subscriptions defaults: max 32 subscriptions in memory, reload every 120min
calendar.external.subscriptions.institutional.cachetime=120
calendar.external.subscriptions.user.cacheentries=32
calendar.external.subscriptions.user.cachetime=120

Hmmm... OK, I'm still not seeing anything from the NBA calendar.  Is there a sakai.properties setting or something that sets how often the iCal feeds are updated?
