Import OFBiz WorkEffort into Outlook calendar

Hi,

I have a simple need, i want to find a way to import a group of party 
WorkEffort into Outlook.

I'm not familiar with Outlook so i wanted to know if someone already 
managed to do such needs and how ?

I looked into mails, wiki and Jira, I only found 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4247, and Icalendar 
Integration : 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/iCalendar+Integration

I guess there is a way to import .ical files into Outlook, but if there 
is some other experience in the community, it would be nice.

Best Regards

Gil

Sincerely the Funambol integration I did from Opentaps (OFBIZ-4247) was a pain. I had no ideas it would be so when I started. I'm not even sure it 
still works with current trunk or last releases.

I agree with Adrian it should be better to rewrite it from scratch. It could be then contributed and integrated in OFBiz.

The iCalendar integration would be the way to go. Outlook can read 
iCalendar data.
