I was doing some searching to see if this has been covered, but two thoughts:
- why not allow 2-way syncing between LDS and Google calendars
- if that is not feasible, then is it possible to allow importing of 3rd party calendars? Our stake presidency has been using Google to compile the next year's calendar, which we then add manually to the online stake calendar
Thanks!

All I've heard is that there will be the ability to import from the current LUWS calendar. That may or may not be a general import. I would welcome a more general import, but haven't heard of that. Do you have more specifics on these plans?

but this is about the transition so "migrate" might be a better word.Events are not currently synchronized between the two calendar applications. The ability to import events will be available in 2011 to support a smoother transition to the new calendar.

I'd agree with using the word "migrate", especially since that answer was in response to the specific question "Why don't I see events from the old calendar on the new calendar?" That seems pretty clear that it is talking only about moving from the LUWS calendar to the new.lds.org calendar.kd7mha wrote:from the Transition FAQ pagebut this is about the transition so "migrate" might be a better wordEvents are not currently synchronized between the two calendar applications.
