>      Currently, the GNOME calendar uses the vCal file format standard 
      for storing and loading its appointment and todo database.  This
      standard is widely used in various other calendar applications,
      so it provides a good mechanism for exchanging appointments.

>      In the future the GNOME calendar will support the upcoming
      iCalendar specification as well.
