[Building Sakai] RV: is there any usable mobile code?

We have just completed some work to provide unique "opaque URLs" to site calendars. The URL is non-guessable (cf Goggle) and provides contextual information (site and userid). It can be regenerated if required.

Each calendar now has a subscribe link which is visible to all users, there are 2 opaque URLs an https and a webcals.

We will of course be contributing this work back - we just need to get it working with 2.8 as it was developed against 2.6.

I will blog about this soon(ish) and endeavour to inform the dev list about my post.
