Hm. Use case here: one team calendar for 20 people in OGo. 10 calendars
from outlook/other apps/online calendar as .ics files to
integrate/import into the team calendar.
Need to evaluate the outlook plugin from OGo, still. Although it is
really instable on Outlook 2007.

It's more complicated. We've got "more" calendars/teams in OGo and want
to sort some appointments into diffenent teams in OGo.
Simply best would be a function like "upload *.ics file into team
calendar" and done.
