this might be too complicated. Did you check the corresponding Horde
bug (http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=4267)? Basically the Kronolith
API already supports the necessary parts for handling event over such
a protocol. You'd just need to write the intermediate protocol
definition (at least in theory). I really did not look closely at this
so I might underestimate the effort necessary but with Horde you'd
already have all the basic features for handling events and exporting
them.

Cheers,

Gunnar
